Which do you prefer?

The shot above is of the duck Pond falls after one of the early snow falls this Winter, I do have to admit it does look so beautiful at the start of winter, and I went with a Monochrome image to share with this post.

But as winter has progressed I personally have had enough of it so checking the forecast and seeing the chance of 6 to 12 Inches of snow coming on Monday night through Tuesday, so again I went looking for a shot from warmer days.

This was at the Start of spring last year with the snow all melted and a nice warm and fresh day and thats what I am looking forward to now, I have been very sensible this Winter with my health and Lung Issues and not been out hardly at all taking photos over the winter, so I am truly getting an itchy camera finger waiting for warmer weather and getting out and about again

So Back to my original Question I know some love winter and could have it stay all year round, as I get older I am more a any season but Winter person,

How about you?

While I love the warmer weather in the second picture with its sun and blue skies... I have to actually admit, I like the first one (winter) better. Winter with snow and ice on the ground you can hear so much more. The calmness and serene sounds of crunching snow beneath your shoes.. the gentle way snow falls off the tree branches- it just makes me think of quiet and solitude.

Winter photo just froze me only by seeing it, but it somehow melted my view and brought calm warmth on a breeze.
Sometimes the beauty lies in the simplicity and it felt like it on this photo.

Even though I'm a summer person I say that Winter photo is my favorite one ;)

The first shot is best for the winter scene, but the second one looks nice and warm fro springtime! Both are great, but I like the composition of the first one better.

About winter - all I can say is that I'm glad I live in Florida, although I am longing for much warmer days! I hate wearing winter clothes in Florida! We had a reprieve just for today, but a cold front will be coming through again tomorrow! :-(

The winter photo is stunning and beautiful in what it holds and shows that all of life can be beautiful if you just stop and really look at what is around you.

as to the winter question. when I was young I lived in N.Carolina for 6 months and missed my only northern Winter. and I found I missed the Northern real change of seasons. I missed the part where you long for Spring and enjoy the fact that it is a gift to be cherished and not just a given fact that the warmth will come.

I'm not saying I enjoy the cold as right now I have on a fleece onesie, heavy socks and a blanket over me and the heat is on in my house LOLLL

Just that if you always get 'summer' will you remember to enjoy it for the gift that it really is?

and see LOLL I told you your photo's 'speak' to me :D

My vote is for the first photo because of the perspective and focus on the church in the center. The colors are soft enough that one's eyes are drawn inward.

I have two answers. Usually when you post choices I have I hard time deciding, but I think the winter version of the photo is spectacular and far and away better. However, if you're asking where I'd live, I'd say neither. Even the second photo looks too cold for my taste! Trees without leaves makes me kind of sad, like I know winter is either about to come or hopefuly leaving.

I love all seasons to be honest. Summer has its advantages since everything is doable... you can go swim, you can go jogging,etc while in winter everything is frozen ( depends if there is snow ) and you can't do the things that you usually do.Even when we walk we should pay attention where we step.

Also I love the way you showed kind of the same picture in 2 seasons ( winter and summer /spring ). Its really amazing.

I could be wrong, but I think I've seen the first photo -- or one very similar to it -- in color. If it were in color, I think it would be my favorite. The second one appeals a little more simply for the color. But I like the angle of the first one better ... and the snow is always so pretty (when you don't have to be out in it ... or shovel it!!)

The color always gets my vote. (I wish Ansel Adams hadn't done so much in B&W.) I even dream in color and always have. I didn't even know there was another way until I started studying dreams as part of my psychology curriculum.

When I get dressed to go somewhere, I always ask myself "What color do I want to wear?" I care far less about style, etc., than about color. On a day when I have to wear green but I really want to wear yellow, everything is off somehow.

I'm sure that means something somewhere ... but to answer your question, after all this knocking around ... I like the composition of the first one -- and because I can envision it in color, when push comes to shove, I'm going to choose it.
