Hehe! I'm the first to congratulate you for taking some risks...
The hard winter is inspiring. Well done!

Your sacrifice is greatly appreciated.. wonderful B&W image you have captured here. Just simply beautiful. *bow*

However,lets talk about your sanity level for climbing out on that ice... ;oP

and you didn't take skates with you? could've had some more fun after taking the picture.
It is a great one, you're competition to Ansel Adams.

And you talk about me, taking risks!....but this was worth it Ewa...I see the winds were blowing to the right...so I imagine you leant to the left to keep your self steady!!!!
wonderful composure my luv...winter will soon be over, and all these goodsnow shots will be replaced, by goos 'sun' shots!!!!!.......Bob

terrific shot, it was worthy u get frozen, wonderful shot and so neat. good work!!!

Fabulous shot.. Beautiful place.. It sure deserved to be immortalized.. You have done a fine job of capturing it..

What I love about this shot, for some reason, it doesn't look like its from Earth at all! :D idk why, but it really doesn't, really nice shot, I really like the "cold" feel of this shot, keep uploading more :D

When I noticed this I just had to check out where you lived that you had such a snowy, cold photo. Thanks for trudging out onto the lake. It was worth it. Black and white adds to the effect and so does the frame. I always like off-center things.

Oh you are so brave for going on that ice, i know you had doubts about it... but it was definately worth it... this is a great shot, the b&w makes it really feel "freezing", I am enjoying your winter shots.. Wonderful work Ewa

Magnificent image, thank you for taking a risk! :-) Love it!

Beautiful work Ewa, stunning in it's simplicity. Just you, the lake, trees & all that lovely snow. You don't mind if I borrow this for my desktop, do you ? Thanks !
P.S. I love it, it's gorgeous, congratulations on a job well done !

Hi Ewa, This shot is very well done. Your composition and balance is simply awesome. The distance and the details you have managed to show is too very impressive. Good or I must Great work!

niiiiiiiiice!
an easy full marks from me
you know presenting such excellence here is cheating
how are we supposed to compete with that ? ;-)

keep them coming
isnt Poland in all its seasons beautiful and inspirational

I love the stilness that seems to dominate this all-white peacefull scenery.....really nice Ewa, thanks for showing us!

What sacrifice - you neither broke in nor went under ? *SMILING*
Nevertheless, I really appreciate your efforts as usual and I'm glad you returned home safely :-)

A beautifully composed image.

Some may see starkness in this image ... some may see, or maybe more appropriately, 'feel' the perceived cold ... some may view this and wonder the intent of the artist's message ... not me.

I see the beauty of the snow covered majestic trees ... the ground under a gentle blanket of snow ... and the serenity and tranquility of the overall scene. Mother nature at rest in the winter season ... still does not hide her beauty that you, the artist, has captured here.

Your perceptive powers and natural 'eye' are at their heights here. Great work.

Gorgeous...simply gorgeous!!!! So very beautiful and I love the presentation and the b/w...excellent work!

Another fantastic shot. I just love your work...I'm jealous that you have so many beautiful places around you...

This is so great! Very nice photo! Streight to my background

This shot of winter is beautiful! I wish it was like that down in OK.

Shots like this make me hold on tightly to my fascination for B&W. Wonderful and peaceful.
