What a beautiful photo and great entry to this contest.

The colours are soft and add a cool feeling to the scene. Telling us that it's cold brrrr

The marble ice is so detailed and beautiful. You got excellent DOF as well.

Exposure and light are well done. Your angle and your cropping worked great on this photo.

Stunning. Good luck.

    Wow thank you so much for your wonderful review, and even more thanks for the 6 stars, I really appreciate both.
    It was extremely cold that day, but the 'living museum' was amazing to visit - there will no doubt be other photos from that day uploaded at sometime soon.
    Thank you so much again.

Love your marbled ice image! My eye is always drawn to scenes like this! It gives ice a whole new look! I can imagine how cold you were when you took the shot, but some things are just to good to let pass by!
This is a great entry for the Cold contest. The whole atmosphere gives one a chill! Very nicely presented with a nice POV. Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Helvi

    Thank you Brian, I really appreciate you taking the time to review. Yes do go back for another visit, it's well worth the trip and I think they're always adding new exhibits - it's a photographers dream place!

Fine narrative, liked the true humor. The scene is lovely and everywhere I see the appearance of cold mixed with beauty. The sky is also nice as are the more distant foliage.

It is a stunning winter scene you have pictured here, and the HDR has indeed worked wonders. I see what you mean by marbled ice, and it is this doing this photo more than anything. The canal boats and the buildings are also standing out so well, and the color pallet is lovely.

The photo is sharp and it is truly clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the photo. The white balance and exposure is spot on.

The format and framing is perfect, and with all the fine leading lines it is a very good balance in the composition. This is a truly lovely and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Should have given 6 stars, but I have run out.

    You are more than welcome, and I think most of us are in that situation now and again.

This is one of the finest HDR composites I have seen. The colors are rich and not garish. All of the image lines are crisp and natural in appearance.

The subject matter is well displayed through a judicious use of the rule of thirds.

The composition speaks a clear story and is entertaining.

You have a strong entrant for this contest, good luck ... Bob

Awesome picture you have entered into the contest here!! It does look like war time almost. The grays and blues together, especially in the ice are stunning!! It is almost creepy with old smoke stacks. Very well done!! All the best you in the contest

One of the best entries for sure at the "cold photography contest" with this impressive capture of the frozen canal and the floating ice;.....

This is a skilful composition with a well-defined centre of interest perfectly framed to accentuate the cold winter theme. Excellent form: shadow, colour, and tonal range have created dimension. Good luck!
