I see the columns as order....the snow as chaos...taken this a.m. - early...after a very surprise snow storm....

I love it! Even the footsteps add to the chaos that you mentioned. Great tones. Keep it up.

Well done, I might suggest doing a rotation in your image editing application. Right side is higher than the left side - er, or is it an optical illusion

I think it is a bit of lens distortion with the wide angle....the verticals are pretty straight and plumb....but you are right the cross beams aren't....I may see if I can correct the perspective a bit...

Hey Randy

this looks fine , only a view camera really does this with ease , I think you could make it "perfect" but I don't really think it matters much, I am no good at perspective correction so I cannot help any more that this

Thanks John...this sort of thing isn't even visible in landscapes, is it?

I find that during composition, i can either concentrate on getting the verticals straight, or the horizontals...take my pick...When using a wide angle lens at least.

Randy, Very nice image. The choice of B&W really accentuates the columns.
