Congrats on the wonderful finish. I really like this piece. Different than your normal off the dock shot. I think those lines in the sky that seem to mimic the ones on the ground really add a ton to this photo.
I didn't get a chance to comment on this during the challenge. I love the icy cold feel of the shot but actually my favorite part is the sky. It's gorgeous!
I love the way the lines in the snow are echoed by the lines in the sky. The light and focus are beautiful. Wonderful image. Congratulations on your high score and placement.
Wow! Beautiful lighting and use of color. I love the clouds. The center framing works very well. Horizon at the center works to show split contrast of lake and sky. Gorgeous!
Good looking sky here; seems like it's crafted with a paintbrush. Obviously there are frozen spots here, but the wood is more showcased than the ice. Good image, nonetheless. I like how there is ice/snow in the shadows across the wood.
i think a better way to do this shot would be to get lower to the ground, so that the bridge extends farther into the scene, the horizon gets pushed up out of the center of the frame, and the eye is lead through the entire shot, not the the first third. the exposure and color are great though.
