We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
I like the structure of the picture with the winding road and trees to either side. For me there is a little too much dark foreground with the characters too central. I feel that if they were at the bottom third point the picture would have a better feel to it as they would have further to walk. The little house peeping from the trees is unfortunate as it gives the children a very close destination.
Arrggh! My first reaction is, "Get those kids out of the road!!!" Maybe it's because I can't see around the bend and they're walking between car tracks... That aside, the surroundings frame them well, but I might, too, have raised the camera a bit. Give 'em a hug for me, grandpa!
If you look real hard on the right over the snowbank, in the highest format, you'll see the two goldens rearing their heads, wondering who is approaching!
This would rate a 10 from me in the voting booth!
