Feb 26, 2019		     I commend Michael for his dedication to photography and the beautiful shots he produces. You wouldn't catch me out there at the crack of dawn, and it wouldn't be my skates I was zipping by on LOL.

Feb 25, 2019		     Michael A worthy finish for a fine photograph. Now if only we had Lo zipping by on skates!

Feb 25, 2019		     Very nice atmosphere!
Lo
Feb 25, 2019		     I love the coating of ice on the surface - looks like meringue.

Feb 24, 2019		     Beautiful photo! This sort of cold is just so far beyond my experience that I can't even imagine what it feels like. Up in my faves.

Feb 24, 2019		     Ey, or as they say in South Africa "Hey", just sprinkle a little salt and everything is better. Made my #2, just behind the curvy architecture.

Feb 24, 2019		     Pretty sunset further enhanced by the reflections off the ice.

Feb 24, 2019		     Robert - Hign praise if you thought this was from John. I do try to mimic his techniques - I admire them :-)
ysal - I didn't see that but you are right. I think the pp somehow cost me some resolution.
Jade: Good to see you back. If I'd have known I would probably not have put in a sunset shot :-) I did try many daytime shots but the setting sun brought out more of the wonder of the whole area covered in thick ice.
kerszkavet - Thanks. I'm glad you appreciated the lampost - I changed position to highlight it more (then Jade wants to clone it out LOL).
aoc - Thank you.
breadmaker - Thanks. It certainly was lonely. Times like this I'm happy to have a fully charged cell in my pocket :-)

Feb 24, 2019		     Just beautiful, I can sense the serenity and calmness that this image portrays.
aoc46
Feb 23, 2019		     Like the color and composition.
kerszkavet
Feb 23, 2019		     I love the colours and the reflections, and the tracks make good leading lines. Well positioned for that lamppost!

A minor point - I'd have preferred it if the centre tree was the sharpest, rather than the big tree on the left (or is that just an illusion from the backlighting?)

Feb 23, 2019		     A personal thing, I dislike sunsets which I find cliche. However this is more than that and if I would have done anything it is to clone out the benches and the light pole to evoke a sense of wild wilderness with some mysterious building on the horizon....well, my take on it anyway. Good image. Good technical skills on display.
ysal
Feb 22, 2019		     Oh my, this is beautiful. The trees are a bit soft but that is just a small nit.
RobertLavker
Feb 22, 2019		     Great image in the style of johncomyn or mepo, which is meant to be a compliment. The lighting and composition are superb. I get cold just looking at this picture. Marvelous.
