Captured these images at the playground this morning. Instead of kids playing there were snowflakes playing on St Patricks Day!! So done with winter this year, but today's snow is a wet snow(very beautiful to look at) and most of the other snowstorms have had dry snow. Was wondering if any of these captures work comments and critiques are encouraged.

Thanks

Tim....yeyyyy! I am first to comment! Hopefully not the last one...

Any old way...the first image needs to be straightened up by your software...the red whatever 3 quarters of the way up at the right side needed to be cloned out.

#2 I like without the beige slide...but then you'd have to live with it because by the way it looks you cannot avoid it and has to go with the shot...cleaning that up might make a mess.

Anyway...Happy Paddy's Day!

First image is very nice

Thank you Isabel and Nandakumar. I straightened the first one (silly of me) and the item on the right side not sure how to remove. It is a car and not much around there to clone (my cloning skills need developement this will be a challenge)

In the second image I have tried deemphasizing the slide by desaturating in the HSL panel the yellows and oranges and pushed the greens up some.

Thanks

If you're old enough...Where have all the children gone? I am tired of this winter.
Nice shots though.

It has "cooled" down to about 80 degrees F. here...

Thank you John and William. Cant agree more William. Brand new playground built not 100 yards from my house and its been too cold for any kids (much less my grandkids) to enjoy.

Hi Tim. I like the second editions of #1 and #2. Well done.

The hard lines of the playground equipment and the 3 uneven mushroomy poles makes a nice contrast against the trees in the background. The snow is great because it removes some of the details and lets us view the shapes.

The triangle in a triangle in a triangle in the second image is really a cool perspective.

Thanks Mike. The advise from Isabel was very useful. Love this forum.

Thanks
