My gosh,
that is just TOOO much snow and ice. :)) You did an incredibly nice job with all the white and still got nice shadows and good detail. Great note, too. This is a really (ahem) COOL shot. LOL Take care, John and thanks,
Shelly

Hi John,

what an exquisite view. I'm amazed by the minimalism in its colors and details. It's a powerful composition indeed. It's the prove we can do a lot with less :) Very good work!

perfect illustration that "less is more" - I don't think a landscape photo can get much more minimalistic than this, but the result is spectacular. I like a lot the lace-like patterns of the frozen branches and how the fog and mist create a feeling of silence, as if the place was covered with a thick and soft blanket. simply beautiful.
have a great Sunday,
Kristine

There is something with snow, how a landscape so dramaticly can changes in such short time, from being filled of millions of colors and tones to be BW graphical. I wonder "Where have all the colors gone short time passing" even where theri no snow color tunes seems to diapaers..
Back to image. I like that the river ends up in nothing, a Haze of coldness It gives it a mystic mood.

Hi John,
Very cold looking western landscape as the wind wips up a snowy haze along the banks of this frozen river. The frost encrusted trees make a very effective frame for this chilly image.

Hi John,
A wonderful minimalist compo that reminds me a Japanese or Chinese drawing. Very inspiring... And cold also, but certainly cold-hearted.
This "study" of yours showing almost the same POV in diffrent times of year.
Regards, José.

Hi John
Not so magical as James River in Magenta, but also very interesting, especially for me who never lived in snow country.

Hello John
Amazing beauty of the winter landscape. Quite minimalistic, yet there lies the beauty. I like the how the frozen branches look like laces as they bend over the river. The silence is almost 'audible'...and the tones so well depicted. Good work John!

Hola John,
Me encanta la textura suave de esta toma invadida por la niebla. Un ambiente helado muy bello con estupenda atmósfera.

You made the best of the light here, wonderful effect, I want to say minimalism, but it's not quite that, there is something else in the atmosphere, maybe it's the way the detailed frosted branches balance the blank sky and river surface.
