wow, this did much better than i thought it would. maybe team suck is having an influence after all. i do agree with cfarrell's comment about the facial expression. i hate it too - i should have softened it up a bit more. but i was running back and forth across the field like a mad thing with my 10 second timer, and this was the best of about 20 - i was absolutely knackered.

My only surprise is that you are surprised that it did better than you thought! The photo is incredible! Well. . .I have another surprise: that it's not on the front page with a score closer to 7 than 6!!
I actually like the facial expression because it enhances the emotional element of the scene. It shows that someone is probably freezing their ass off, hehe. Great mood. I love how the noise is like little black and white snowflakes floating around. Very cool.
Very cool photo. I think the grain is great, and I love the composition of the person and two trees standing in a row in ascending order with so much sky above. Love the three textures of the three silhouettes too. Going in my favorites!
Like the 3 figures, planted in the cold and snow, BW tones, and treatment, frosty cold. Altogether very evocative in an apparently simple but unusual way.
I really like the noise and composition. The processing is very appealing to me. The only thing that seems to distract me is her expression. I wonder if not showing her face at all would have been more effective. Of course, just my opinion.
This is only my second image I'm voting on, but I already know it will be one of my favorites in this challenge. I love the starkness, the crop & composition, the inclusion of the person in that exact spot, the grain, everything. It's wonderful.
Nice image, I like the grain, it adds to the emotion of it. Would have been even more interesting if the person were walking or doing something, composition is good and nice b&w, 7.
