I don't know what "bkg" means, but I really like the color.

bkg means background (in my world of html naming conventions)and the image is a component of a test here: http://www.jdcallow.com/test3.html I posted this here in the critique gallery without explanaion to see if I'd get any critiques. Which is foolish. I'll add an explanation

this image is quite nice...I would have thought it to be an extremely well done watercolor except for its caption...I like the composition a lot..

Agree with Miles..has a Norman Rockwellian color pallette and feel. The loss of highlight detail in the snow adds to this effect.
I like it alot.

After shooting this alley with the perfect snow and decaying, often repaired wall and delapidated trailer, I thought some focal plane swing and foward tilt would make the scene and especialy the wall to appear even more instable. The snow distroyed the clean horizontal of the pavement which added to the effect. Why and or what does it mean? Not entirely sure. I may be on drugs and or spend too much time thinking about these thingd

For my peace of mind I would like to have had the camera swung another degree or two to the right to give the trailer a little more breathing room with the edge of the frame.

But then this photo is not about my peace of mind. Instead, tension leaps from the point of almost-contact of the trailer's edge and the frame of the photo. This tension is bounced off and strengthen by the weird wall and its bricked up windows...all telling me that I'd rather not know what is off to the right and out of sight.

Very well done.

Makes me think of a jigsaw puzzle I was given as kid. It was a picture of a snocat, presumably in the Antarctic somewhere. The illustration was that sort of American late fifties early sixties colourful style (like modern Coke Xmas ads try to recapture). Anyway this reminds me of that style. I'm rambling.

I agree with Vic, it is very nicely done. For me the snow is really the key.

The funny part. The thumbnail made me think part of the picture had been deleted (the snow).
