Splendid location and moment caught,I like how black contour contrast with sky and clouds.A very good end for this year and all you want the best for 2014.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thank you very much Radu. I wish you A happy new year too! I'm waiting with interest your work.

God bless you!

Perfect composition and an excellent B&W work. I'm glad, you didn't make the snow grey, as I seeing so many snowscapes with grey snow.

Happy New Year.

A good composition of the elements, Claudia.  Sky has the most interest with the wispy cloud forms and blowing snow.  Figures get kind of lost however unless one looks for them.

Thank you Bela, Gerry for your comments. Indeed, it is desirable that in a b&w picture to show shades of gray. That's why we call b&w picture.

I wish you A happy new year, and God bless you!
