This is a really pleasing image. I especially like the leading lines that take you right to the main attraction. The fact that there is ice so clear amazes me. It also reminds me how cold and foreboding it can get here. I'll post an image taken in the Columbia River, of an Island surrounded by winter. I'll try to post it tonight. 10 x20 (wait a minute I can't go that high so,) 10 x10 and in my favorites.

Wow! Usually gray photos don't get much points out of me, but this one reminded me that I still haven't heard the ice "talking". Have you? They say it sounds all eerie, but majestic at the same time. One friend compared it to ents talking from the Lord of the Rings.
The compo is great in this, great lining and leading with the little snow on front.

10 Degrees below sounds about like my favorite winter temperature. Gotta love the severe stuff. This picture is very nice. It looks like it was very quiet out there with maybe the slight sound of a breeze. Maybe the creeking of some cold trees swaying back and forth slowly?

Looks like a very nice place to escape to. Very nice. Please keep posting more like this.
