We had some snow on monday, took a few photos, only really liked this one out of the 20 odd I took.

Statue's are kinda simple to shoot, dont move etc, but its a pretty nice picture

Most things are pretty simple to shoot given the correct equipment. The only thing that's hard is finding the decisive moment for a shot.
Glad you think it's ok though.

Well of course if you have the right equipment, anything can be easy. Pictures of animals or people, landscape pictures etc is harder. but im not saying your picture is bad or anything, i like it actually

Landscapes are easy, just grab a large format camera, a decent prime lens, a few sheets of Fujifilm Velvia, find a good spot and wait around for some good light.

I'm quite annoyed about the snowflake falling right infront of the statue's mouth at that moment though. Sometimes falling snowflakes look good, didn't work out in this one though.

'landscapes are easy' .. that might be one of the funniest quote's ive ever seen about photography, xD. Obviously youve never really tried it then..

The photographs themselves are easy to take, finding the correct spot, and shooting at the correct time is not. Which is why the famous nature photographers produced such spectacular images. Any idiot could have taken a photograph of the exact same subject, but being there at the right time is half the work, and not many people can do that.

Wrong sorry. Choosing the right position already is very hard, and then you need the right equipment, and be lucky to get the right lighting. Of course you can say 'any idiot can take a picture of the same object' but not any idiot will take it at the same angle, time of the day or with the same equipment. That's like saying 'anyone can take a beautiful picture of a model, you only have to wait for the perfect moment and only have to have a professional studio'

You're just repeating what I'm trying to say. :\

Ya but that means landscape pictures arent easy. Bad ones are easy, but of course i was talking about good ones.
