Best yet Pete,stunning image,well framed and a high enough shutter speed used to freeze the falling snow.

Brilliant!!

Oh my god what a F%$^&*G shot I saw this while I was in Norway with Ole and thought this would get 30+ comments but came back and it had only got 11 whats going on! This is by far the best caper shot I have seen and IMO one of your best shots and one of the best shots I have seen posted on this forum. I really hated you before this and now I just want to kill you.

I can only endorse what Danny has said - we saw this online at Ole's and had no time to post a comment, but it is a fabulous shot and well worthy of more comments.
