It's cold out...
40D, 17-40mm (@29mm), 1/100@f9, ISO100, +1. Powerlines cloned out.

My local country park on Saturday. Of all the hundreds of times I've been down there Saturday was the prettiest I've seen it. Unfortunately the site is crossed by powerlines, and I cloned them from the sky for this shot.

C&C welcome.

I like this Greg even though I'm not a landscape man. Nice the way it graduates from right to left in height. Maybe a teeny bit left rotation but no big deal.

A very fitting title Greg & a good looking frosty landscape too.

Yes I like this as well,

50:50 (sky:foreground) landscape shots usually look a little boring - probably because it is difficult to get a good 'lead in' line, but the frozen lake compliments and balances the pale sky here forcing your eye to the tree line which becomes the focus of attention.

Hi Greg, beautiful landscape. I tried it in Pano and it is very nice. :toast:

Thanks for the comments guys.

Mike, John, I tried lots of crops of this, and have alternative views (as I was never 100% happy with the 50:50 comp), including panos, but with a max width of 720px I couldn't do it justice on this site (and haven't sorted any other hosting yet). Plus I also liked the ice foreground.

Phil, yes it's Leybourne.

For me this needs a crop off the foreground, otherwise an excellent image.
