Christine, You are right on vignetting/light fall off in the corners, more visible on Meadow than on DuPage river. I went back and put speed and aperture info in the captions. The first two are shot wide open at f4 with the 16-45mm zoom. The last two are at f5.6 and it is not so visible. I think the light fall off is the result of shooting wide open although I'll try some next time without the lens hood on the 16-45mm.
Closer on the snowman is a good idea. There were several snowmen in the park, built from earlier snowfalls. I was lazy and should have worked the scene better. I will next time! Thanks for the comments, both things I can get better with next time. Regards, Bob S.
