Hello Kari,
Another fine picture in the same style as yesterday. Very graphic indeed, with just the tiniest spots of colour. The patterns go nicely arounf the picture.

I suppose that in this January, in 2008, this road do not exist? Winter is somewhere else, not in Scandinavia, hm.
Great shot, small people and big wide space.

I love this white scenes. And if it was I, I would edit this to get a real white (or close to it). But that's a personal preference. I really like your simple, minimalistic composition. But the curvilinear "draws" in the lake surface are what makes this picture so special. And the little lilliputians too! Very good Kari!

Hi Kari,
What a distances! Western Finland... We can only dream about this kind of weather here. We have the Eleven-cities-tour here in the North of the Netherlands. But the last time there was enough ice for this skate even has been 1997....
Greetings! Dennis

Hi Kari,
excellent perspective, with the zoom the curves of the "street" appear closer to each other than in reality. Nice minimalistic one,

Hi Kari,
exceptional capture and landscape. Not seen in every day life, at least not in our corner of the world. Love the composition of three lines coming from lower right end each in different direction, full of life going along those paths. Big compliments.
Best regards,
Jeri

Excellent geometry, great example of water based urban planning, I think the brightness level is fine.

Hi Kari, i love that one !
Human seems so small and yes for sure the road is long and the sleep is long too after finishing this "walk" :)
Very graphical and you got a great POV
Excellent

Great shot Kari. All Dutch skaters are waiting for these circumstances but it seems that also this year they have to find there luck on the 400 meter tracks which are spreaded all over the country.
Great perspective here from a bird view eye, the waves over the track is wonderful...a great shot, i like it a lot.

Hello Kari,
Pleasant minimalism, telling the story well!
Besides... the composition has interesting lines, good textures in the snow that is well exposed...

Love the snow; it looked like an abstract from the thumbnail. Good POV for showing the path.

Excellent shot Kari! Very simple, very graphic, very well composed! Brings back memories of Holland in the Fifties and Sixties.
Have a nice day, John.

Hi Kari,
Good to drop in again.Similar to a previous image of yours that I also liked.A desert of snow divided by a lifeline of life.What is that mild weather you have been having lately.....global warming or what?Take care and TFS.

hi kari,
this is aryaratna.first of all thanx for critiquing a photograph of mine which i had uploaded with great expectations but it turned out be a bore for most of my pals on TE.but i think u had understood the picture well.peole had told me that the shot lacked subject and pov.it was capable of only being a background of middel school environmental science projects.but i see people like you also take such photographs like mine.this shot is similarly fantastic.is it a panorama?

Hello Kari! This is the one I wanted to comment in your gallery but somehow I "lost" it on the way :)))) Nice mood and how the ice track eats its way through the white. Some years ago our lakes were frozen and I put my foot on the lake which I find is always a strange feeling but after a while you get more brave and start to feel safe. No ice skating this year as it seems in Switzerland (lowlands). It is by far too warm for January and you never know what to wear. Excellent work indeed ... I just love it. Take care, have a good night, Barbara.

Hi Kari,
This is a very simple composition but very well captured. the white is pure, the curves of the road lead the view from one side to the other of the frame, and the people gives a good sense of the immensity of this place. Great POV!
Good work.. do you wear gloves when shooting under this condition?

Hi Kari!
Nice shot, so simple yet catching attention. People are absolutely necessary here to let us feel the space. I like tha way you closed the frame around those lines, it's clear that you had an idea for this shot.
Well done!
Have a nice weekend

Hi Kari
The windy paths have created interesting shapes and a dramatic image. This photo certainly does teach me about this world - an unlikely scene where I live! Tfs, Marlene

A stunning place taken with a perfect angle.
The curved openings gave the impression of a hand-made portrait.
Well done.
TFS.
