 Frozen waters at Studley Deer Park

Oddly endearing, despite or because of the cold. Very nice array.

This has a beautiful, cold warmth to it. Great classic pose, I'm surprised it didn't score higher.

I like how this looks like there is a frozen mist hanging over the scene.

Interesting blue cast to the ice and bird's breast. An interesting composition.

I personally would have cropped this a bit closer and maybe boosted the contrast a bit, but the concept is still really good, and it's a nice image. 7

Nice concept, I like the composition very much...

What I do not love is the slightly over-exposed image, and the serious blue tint the entire image has.
