Frosty morning

Kyle - Looks like you are finally getting some sonw out in Tahoe! I like the many textures of this that you rarely get with a heavy snow fall. The natural edge of ice just brings me through the image. In th large version there is a dark spot/blotch on the top boarder that I might crop/clone out depending on your style. Just doesn't look like it belongs with the rest of the image's boarder (doesn't look like a branch).

Brrrrr! And beautiful!

This is absolutely beautiful!. I love the way the edge of the ice zig-zags its way into the center of the image and leads you right to those frosty trees!!

Frost filigree of branches is wonderful. the misty fade into the bg is nice, too.

This is lovely. Very pretty.

Absolutely beautiful soft winter image Kyle! The muted colors and curving ice along the shoreline that leads my eye through the image really make this for me!

Love your version. Beautiful detail in the frost and the gradual color transition to lack of color is wonderful. Nice handling of the whites. Print it large (and send me a copy).

Lovely frosty wonderland! Nice curve of the ice and misty background.

Beautiful feel here!

Beautifully done. Love the subtle color.

Quite nice Kyle. Gives me a sense of serene silence.

Kyle that is a wonderful picture. The extremely muted colours create superb atmosphere and a tangible sense of chill. My eyes do lock onto the solid but small mass of frost/snow on the reed bed so you might find yourself tempted to clone him out, (i wouldn't), but for me everything else is just quite perfect. I could so easily see this hanging on somebodys wall, compelling in its simplicity, unaggressive and unassuming in hue.

Kyle, This has a wonderrful feel and mood. Very appealing comp as well. I love these kind of scenes, and this one is really good! Excellent work.

This is absolutely stunning Kyle!. Love the sense of cold and stillness. Beautiful work.

Very pretty Kyle. I like the way the BG fades into the fog, and I love the subtle color in the LLC.

Beauty, Kyle! Great scene and mood. Love the fog.

This looks beautiful Kyle. A scene that would also be possible in my area - in case we get the low temperatures.

Excellent work, Kyle. I like the winding curves of the ice and the hoar frost on the foliage. A very wintry image.

Gorgeous winter wonderland Kyle,

Gary.

This looks cold....but a fanntastic image.

Great stories and great memories Kyle. This is one of my favorite scenes from our many trips up there. A beautiful winter scene.

I've got to tell the story though. This was a trip with the camera club so there were a number of us photographing this area. This was captured from a small bridge that crosses the Lost river in Merrill, OR. Just 1 block from the main street. Very small rural town. Two old farmers in a pickup truck stopped on the bridge to see what we were doing. From what I can remember the driver said something like: "I've been driving over this bridge for 50 years and never did see anything worth taking a picture of." I'll always remember that moment.

Still a favorite of mine Kyle. Thanks for posting.

This really is gorgeous! I've heard about this shot a few times now, and wondered if I was ever going to get to see it. Glad I finally did.

That's really nice, Kyle. The textures and muted light here are very appealing.

Fantastic image. Your composition is exquisite, the curves in the ice leading the eye back, the great lines of the tree trunks and branches as well as the reeds, the wonderful frost, everything works so very well. The fog puts it over the top. Outstanding.

Love the frosty feel of this--beautiful shot!

Awesome. This has a very sereal, painterly effect. I love it.

Kyle, your image has great impact on me, it is an impressive artistic capture of the atmosphere to me. The subtle colors are shown excellently in my opinion, as well as the wonderful details.
