Beautiful, beautiful image. Perhaps not the strongest in the bunch as a silhouette but still a stunning image.

Beautiful, peaceful, black and white winter scene! I love how the silhouetted trees stand out against the background.

This is really beautiful, with the fractured reflections in the icy water. It looks so cold.

Lovely composition. The fog really adds to the mood as well as providing a perfect background for the silhouettes. If the tree branches coming in from the upper left were not there it would be even better.

Suits to the topic. Well composed. In my favorites.

Nice composition. You have captured the starkness of winter. I cann feel the cold.

Beautiful scene. Not sure if the trees are silhouettes or just black.

Cookiejar - you have nailed exactly what I wanted to see in the last two challenges :-) I thought the patterns in the slush were an attractive detail. Thanks for picking up on it.
jomari: Yes but not much wind so you can get fooled into thinking you don't have to dress for it. Glad you liked it.
ysal: I did too LOL Thanks for taking the time to check and not just writing it off :-)
aoc46: Appreciate your detailed comments as always. I did try cloning that branch out but it seemed to unbalance the composition. I have to say that cloning a grey sky is one of the hardest clones to make.

Good choice of monochrome. Like the crisp, simple lines and how the fog eliminates background distraction. Might retouch out the branch of the foreground tree that intersects the mid-ground one.

Gorgeous image. I had to look up "silhouette" in the dictionary again but this seems to qualify.

Beautiful entry, high in my faves. Good golly, that looks cold!

The strong contrast of the black rocks and trees againced the white snow and fog makes for an exciting image. The grey details in the water are a happy bonus.
