Normally, this park is filled with children playing. Now, it is too late for parents to take their little ones to play on this cold structure.

Good sense of the onset of winter, particularly aginst the idea of the playground. You've done well also with your exposure, to keep the sky under control and some interest on the foreground. The white line at the top of frame is kind of clumsy. I might have tried to shoot from even lower, to emphasise the silhouettes against the sky without losing so much against the tree-line: whilst the ordinariness of this presentation works in your favour, I think a more imposing composition would have given more effect - and the difference simply kneeling down can produce can be amazing. Some kind of fill-light process, which exists in PSP10 and in RSE might have helped bring back some foreground detail, to enhance the feeling of desertion, without blowing out the sky.

back lighting does not work for this shot. too dark to see the subject clearly and too light for a sillouette

It's odd, but I think being able to make out some of the details on the stairs and the slide hurt this photo slightly. At about the level of the bottom of the "gazebo" upwards this image is beautiful. However, I think making the lower half of the image darker (I guess, the entire image darker due to the Basic Editing Rules) would have helped. I still like this picture though. ;)

Nice photo, but without the title, I'd never guess that this image had anything to do with the concept of "too late"
