| Isn't a polar bear plunge supposed to be a bunch of old, fat guys? A couple of those people DO NOT fall in that category. Nice shot Robert. |

| This is a very cool shot. I love looking through all the faces and seeing the expressions. I'm particularly amused by the guy in the hat. The guy with the megaphone is a brave one. Congrats on winning the yellow! |

| GREAT job on posting your processing steps Bear_Music. I have not been all that active with this site for a while but view it every now and then. What I notice a lot is multiable ribbon winners placing the N/A comment never giving other photographers a view into the process they utilize to win the ribbon. Congrats to you !!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I love the novelty of this in the top. Something other than the run of the mill nonsense is refreshing, nice to see.
The PP seems a little strong, with the skin looking a bit synthetic, but it almost feels synthetic and similar to a comic, which works with the photo. |

Maniacs is right, lol. They had one here in Seattle too, (an other cities, I guess). I said to myself, "No way would I ever do that"...but I might just go next year to take photos.
Great photo, especially with the expressions captured |

Although I do see more "focus on a goal" than "celebration", I really love this image and the processing, Robert.
Congrats on your ribbon!

| I love how this is processed. Perfect that the one kids' intense animated face is right in the foreground. It gives such a sense of emotion to the insanity of that event :) Nice job. |

| They do this in my home town as well, except the lake is frozen over so they have to cut a hole in the ice and plunge in one by one. In either case, I think I wuld rather be taking the photo! Speaking of which, really love the varied expressions and the colors! Great job. 9 |

| Nice photo of the event, with some interesting processing to cause a plastic like effect. I'm not sure I see the celebration here. |
