Absolutely gorgeous! Is this a desat with a cooling filter? Or is it really that cold without being frozen? Beautiful work either way :)

Great shot but there are just to many overexposed spots for this type of challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very fairy-tail-ish. Wonderful use of the longer shutter as well as what I assume is an infrared filter etc. I think if the sky were a little darker to bring out the white trees just a bit more you would have a 10-- it might also benefit from a tadmore sharpness to be ultra-critical ... as is this is a 2 :] -- HAHA just kidding: 8

Very nice take on HDR to make the bring out the dark areas in shadows while allowing the brighter areas to really shine.

Absolutely outstanding. I'd be suprised if this didnt win the blue.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

THis is a nice HDR and also IR photo. I like the composition but I wonder what this same photo would look like in color. I think in this particular challenge it might had done better in color. 7
