This is a lovely shot Jim. It is an interesting subject and shows off the winter sun beautifully. It would need 31 people to huddle together to keep warm I think in the Gazebo!! Well done!

Really thought that the gazebo in your X-mas image had another colour Jim, but folowing your link it turned out that I was wrong. Think I was surprised now by the snowy surrounding and the use of a polarisation filter as they give a different expression to this image. Beautiful work again!

Nice picture Jim, I remember commenting on the other gazebo picture "Christmas at lake Eire" and how good that photo would look with snow, And you haven't disappointed, this is a really nice, vibrant shot.

I like this one better Jim Bobtail. The lighting and the contrasts are much better. It really jumps off the screen. I think two people would be enough to stay warm. Provided it were the right two. We all know of the right one. Excellent post.
Truly gorgeous shot and I love this gazebo! I remember your Xmas shot very well. But the lighting and colors are even better with this one! +fav'd

Wow, there's something sugar-frosted about this. Yes I remember the original but this version is so much stronger. Two suggestions though, I think I'd straighten it so the gazebo was level and I actually think it might be better to centre it (you won't hear me say that often) as it feels a touch unbalanced. I do love it though, the colours are so very clean and vibrant and the edges are so clear.

I'd thought you'd shot another gazebo too but I was mistaken. The lighting, & colours in this winter shot are bolder. :o)
