I was working yesterday so was unable to take pictures. However, last year on a day with weather almost exactly as we had yesterday, I took this picture at Vancouver City Hall. The statue is of Captain George Vancouver.
I like the contrast in the image in terms of the weather and the seasons. The blossoms on the tree are an obvious sign of spring yet the snow shows that winter is not giving up just yet.
My original desire was to use a slow shutter speed to show the movement of the snow. The shutter speed was too slow and the snow all but disappeared in most of those shots. I should have bracketed a little. This image used a faster shutter to freeze the action and it was the best of the bunch.
I'll be a little critical this time ;-) I'm wondering if a shot with just snow and cherry blossoms would have provided more focus for the viewer. There's a lot going on in this shot.
