A very nice composition with good foreground to background details, I like the low cloud hanging over the mountains and tree tops. Looks very cold. Well done!

I like the mood of this picture - it's chilly, probably windy and the sky in the background is a bit strange - could be clouds or remote trees in the fog - very expressive.

A very chilly scene. feel cold just looking at it. Looks like a bleak winters day, like a storm is on the horizon.

Well put together and created, love the little bird in the distance and all the ripples created in the water. Good composition and layout

Brrr! This makes me feel cold just looking at it! Great shot, though, that sky looks horribly threatening, and the single bird above the trees is a real eye-catcher. The little touch of colour in the bare branches in the foreground is a nice break from the overall black and white of the photo as well. At the moment there is an almost straight line (the shoreline of the lake) through the middle of the picture, and I wonder whether a slight change of angle, as in a slightly lower viewpoint, might have made more impact? It's a lovely photo, though, and thank you for posting it.

Simply beautiful. What else can I say?.This not only has a very strong and stunning composition, it also keeps the viewer mesmerized by the various elements. The subtle play of color harmony add to the superb overall impact of this artwork. A very strong work indeed.

This is a really pretty winter scene.
The snow covered trees and the icy water, together with the hazy clouds are all great!
I like the lone bird in the sky above - obviously trying to make his way to warmer climes.
Really nice job - well done.

I really love this winter scene where the snow and the hills are surrounding the pond. The misty background gives a moody peaceful effect of the scene. The colors are greatly harmonies and the contrast brings out the wonderful effect of the picture. Thank you for sharing.
