I was daunted by the number of entries, so I didn't vote on this challenge. It's a pity, because I missed this. Beautiful with a wonderful use of grain.
This photo is hugely under-rated, IMO. I would add it to my favorites, except that I already added your other version to my favorites some time ago! LOVE the photo, and your post-processing, too! Thanks for sharing your post-processing notes. But how did you get that grainy look in the sky? Was that done in-camera?
Another underrated image. Ubique is right. This is another of those images I wish I had taken. You brought out the scene and the emotion beautifully with your post processing.
Hmmm ... I've looked again. Actually, more than once. I regret my 8; this was a 10. There's something enduring about it. It will still look this good when at least 450 of the shots that finished higher are mercifully forgotten.
Thanks for returning for another look and this gracious comment,much appreciated,
Christine

nice idea, color ok, noise does not bother me, b&w need work, nice lines, ok light, effect work for me, comp excellent, dof flat, overall could be a nice print
This is a very interesting image. I like the distorting effect of the mirroring water surface.
I'm also inerested in the noise in your image. It looks really good, I'd love to know how you created it. 10.
I'll bet there has been some mixed comments about this photo - but I for one absolutely adore it. I think the colour and noise create an absolutely amazing sense of space. I think you've captured this wintry feel absolutely perfectly. Well done. Hope you do well. 10.
this is really cool. the greens are good and the contrast with the black is neat. the only i would suggest would be a slightly tighter crop to give the impression that the walk is a long and cold one.
Beautiful example of sympathetic use of processing to enhance the qualities of the image that were already there. The reflections of the walkers makes the centred "horizon" perfect. Nice work. 8.
Nice vibe indeed - love the watery, grainy feel. I would have dropped the saturation a little more though to cool it down further and add more gravitas.
I've seen this in your portfolio in the last week or so and loved it then....but now I have forgotten who 'you' are! Christine? Wiel? Anyway, it's mood on a stick to use a proper photography term.
