Lake Pepin in Winter
I was in Wisconsin back in January for a week. Managed to even get out and make some nice images. Here is one from twilight on Lake Pepin.

Stark and simple. I like how the subtle textures of the snow are echoed to some degee in the soft clouds. Did you get this with your view camera or is it digital? The framing looks 2:3, so I'm guessing the latter. Cool shot of a beautiful place.

That one was with the Rebel XTi but I have a 4x5 of this too. Nothing like standing in snow while wearing wingtips and slacks to get an image! :smile:

Brrr.....I don't even want to think about winter yet! The blue tone of the snow works very nicely here, Darren.

Ditto on all the comments---fix the tilted Horizon and you have a really peaceful nice image!

I might crop just a tad off the top of the sky... but that's just personal taste.
