great shot with a painterly feel. I'd crop off a bit from the bottom , maybe to the men hole
cover

Agree with Joseph. A wonderful photo, but I wouldn't want to be there.

I would agree with this image and if I didn't know better one have thought that you took this picture today down at the Forks in Winnipeg... the weather is the same as in the your picture. I like the paintlike quality of the image with the contrasting colors of the horse and carriage and that of the colors of the flags and the background building. I wonder if the rider ever got a ride...

Great image...it has a bit of a dream-like tinge to it.

An excellent image. I agree with the crop suggestion, or another alternative would be to clone out the manhole cover.

Couldn't you have straightened the Canada flag before shooting? ;-)

Doesn't look like a good day for a ride.

It makes me feel cold just looking at it! Very good shot, though I agree with others re a crop, as there is too much foreground.

Patience, is the feel strongly conveyed to me! Ditto Joseph and Ruth on this one.

Great scene Alex. (Hopefully you weren't sitting in you Lexus with heated seats.) :-)

All - thanks for great comments! It feels good to be back to my favorite site. And, no - I was not sitting in a car. I was already all wet after day of skiing , but could not let this opportunity to pass by...

Nicely different, with all the wet snow coming down! I particularly like the patterns of light and partial reflections in the wet street.

I have some sympathy for the suggestion of cropping from the bottom. It puts the horse and carriage in a better position in the frame. But then I look again at the reflection on the street in the fg and don't like the thought of losing that. Hmm...certainly a good shot. It captures the feel of the wet, sleety conditions so well.
