Title: A Winter's Tale
Post by: Gil Aegerter on March 18, 2025, 15:44:19

Since we're on the tail end of winter, here's a winter's tale. I wonder what was going on in this image. Commuter trying to decide the best way to get home? Homeless person thinking about the coming night? A resident just out for a walk in the quiet snow? Nikkor 70-300mm f4.5-6.3 AF-P, Nikon D5200.

That's harsh and oppressive. The framing around the person's silhouette makes the shot for me.

  Thanks for sharing it!

A very mysterious shot. The pose of man makes you wonder what's going on.

Great composition ... the ghost of the crossroad ...

Thanks Gil

"The pose of man makes you wonder what's going on"

If i zoom in, i wonder if the man is in motion , with his right foot yet to land?
But definitely hunched or bowed down in demeanor.

It makes me think of a line by Raymond Chandler in The Simple Art of Murder.

“Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean…”
