Getting cold feet

1112120047

Not all of my photography is related to portraits or weddings.  Sometimes I find interesting images that capture an interesting contrast.  What you can not tell from this picture is how thin the ice is that the geese are standing on.  In addition to the contrast of how man vs the geese use the lake, the geese form a nice strong line along the lower 1/3 line and the houses above are approximately on the upper 1/3 line.  As I was watching them on the ice, the phrase 'Getting cold feet' as it might apply to a wedding, kept running through my mind.

This was a difficult picture to take because it was very grey without interesting light.  In Aperture and Photoshop, I converted to B&W and pushed the contrast as much as I could to provide for a bit of 'pop'.
