C&C on new photo

[kn4ds]

I got a Canon Rebel XS for Christmas, and I've been away from photography for a while... used to shoot a bit with a Minolta X-370.

So, the new camera has gotten my interest back up (just what I need, with amateur radio as a hobby, too).

I shot this a bit earlier today - I shot it in B&W intentionally, and it is under-exposed on purpose, as well.

"Bleak Winter" is what I call it, and I'm interested in your reaction to the photo.

Hey, nice to see some Rebel XS action, beautiful photo with good positioning. If it were me, I'd amp up the contrast a bit more but I'm a bit of a noob and also a contrast whore.

Very nice pic! Congrats on the cam.
