What caught my eye is how the bench just blends in with the trees and somehow gets lost with the matching.
I just wish I could see more footprints or texture surrounding the bench. However, when the frame rests against the bottom of my screen it doesn't bug me.

Could be I'm biased in favor of pictures taken in D.C. but I like this one a lot. Long tonal range with detail in both shadows and highlights. Nicely composed too. Doesn't matter to me whether the bench is on the left or right. Very nicely done.

Well, Petra, being a southpaw myself, I don't mind when focal points are toward the left. :) And once upon a time, I could read a little Hebrew so I guess what Harvey said holds true. :)
I like the simplicity of this a lot. The composition suggests quiet, and I find that really appealing. For some reason, the shot makes think of times when I was a kid when I would go out in the snow and just take in the whiteness and the silence of a place after newly fallen snow had covered everything. I like what you've done here. You too have a great eye for making the seemingly mundane become very compelling. Keep up the good work.

I like the title. The foot prints around the bench add some humor to it.

Actually, left is considered better as people in the western world read left to right and so that's the natural way the eyes travel. A competent capture, nice exposure.

Actually, I think the focal point works wherever the bench actually would have been. I like reality more than flipping things because people might believe it looks better. :-) But, still this is pleasing to the eye with the bench on the right. The only downside (very small one at that) to the photo is the footprints. It is too bad you couldn't have taken it before the snow was tread on. It might have looked smoother. But then...that is reality for ya' :-) I like the photo though and know how you feel. I live in NOrthern Pa and lately finding a place to sit outside has been a challenge too, either because of the snow or the melting snow or the sleet and freezing rain making everything icy!
