Waiting for Spring ...

It's difficult in Upstate New York at this time of the year to find cooperative/colorful subjects when there's nothing but snow on the ground ... Please let me know how I did ... (Image changed from original post)

My two cents opinion: It was be better if the coloured windows should be full and uncutted.
The point of attention became the cut.
Fine idea.

I think that the stength is in the color -- so you get top marks for ferretting out the location. That said, we only get to see 1/3rd of two different sleighs. I think that that is a mistake. These are not abstract objects, and our minds want to back up and see more of these antiques.

Thank you for the comments received.

I had considered including “all” of each sled in the photo, but my feeling was that I would have had, very simply, a picture of 2 sleds hanging on a wall. With only the provided “hints”, my notion was that the viewer would be free to imagine what the rest of the sleds might look like, what else might be hanging on the wall next to the sleds (actually about 50 more sleds) or maybe even imagine taking a sled off the wall for a spin down a hill covered with freshly fallen powder or … maybe it was just about the color?

Again … thank you for the comments ... good pics or not, it was good to have gotten out and seen something with a little more color than “snow white”.
