taken on my trip back home for christmas driving from edmonton, alberta to altona, manitoba. taken somewhere in saskatchewan. it was approx. -25 when this was taken not considering the windchill which would have made it close to -35 i am guessing. took 5 shots in under two minutes of this place and by that time my fingers had numbed up haha. hand held cause it was just way too cold and i did not want to be out there for very long haha.

I like the sun in this...the image lacks sharpness, but there is plenty of mood here 7

Lovely composed shot. Great mood too. The shot is missing some pop in the way of sharpness/detail in those cabins and needs some noise reduction applied to the sky.

Communicates very well the freezing cold of winter on the prairie.

You have indeed captured that cold, cold light of winter. Very nice composition with a good balance.

Wonderfully bleak cold feel to this

The gray of the negative space is interesting here. Normally I would have liked to have seen it more blown out with brilliant contrast, but here it really gives the feeling of darkness to the shot.
