b&w Chilling

simply beautiful !

any comments?

Superb shot, although maybe a notch too light. It makes me freeze just by looking at it. Forget about the birds though. I only saw them after reading your title and well after I thought 'what a great shot'. No need to clone them out though - just don't mention them. Nobody will notice them anyhow ;-)

I agree with Frank, I don't see the birds, I just feel cold! Great shot.

I live in the Central Valley (California), this is foriegn to me, which makes this photo so strange :) I hate snow. The contrast is off just a little.

Great work. I like the composition.

nice :)
