This may not be my best picture of December, but it is my favorite. Going To Kiruna was probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It's way out in the middle of nowhere, but worth the trip. The cold weather made my battery run down faster than normal so I didn't get as many shots as I would have liked. We also saw some beautiful aurora displays on the drive home, but I couldn't take any pictures. Always have a spare battery!

Well if there was ever a 'cool' picture this has to be it. Well done. I wish there was just a little more of the contrasting warm light - or a white Husky in the foreground. Did you stay a night?
Nice blue image, feels really cold as it should be. I think you should have gone a bit closer, only including the snow, the icehotel and the wall on the right, not the part with the orange glow on the left.
This picture makes me want to be there to see this in person. Wow, now that looks cold. I'm looking forward to reading your word's on this one. Great capture, great exposure control.
I'd love to see this have one more color in it. Maybe a bon fire in the lower left foreground. Enough to bounce off the wall, like the orange light in the back left?
Facinating.. I'm looking forawrd to the description to find out where this is. Maybe getting in a bit closer would have improved this, as well as maybe trying a less straight on angle, because currently only a small portion of the shot is your subject of interest, and it is dead center, which doesn't work out very well. Perhaps even shifting the frame just a little higher would have made this a much better shot.
