Great interesting capture John, but for me the white-out background detracts somewhat from the overall image.

Another super image in the series.Obviously a dilemna in the exposure , but handled well .

You have handled difficult conditions well here, but I have to agree with Robert that the white out in the background detracts from the overall image. Cutting the image to a panoramic shape was a good idea.

Agree about the white out but a very nice image, one I certainly wouldn't mind having. :wavey:

Frozen whiskers takes it over the top for me, well done John. :toast:

Excellent. I bet this looks so much better when seen as a big print, not that it doesn't look good at this size, but those frozen whiskers would be even more prominent.

Super shot, I agree re the white-out BG, but a difficult exposure situation has been dealt with well here!
