Walking-on-the-beach

You've really got an eye for the minimalist composition.  This photo conveys the beauty of loneliness (not to mention the chill of winter) very well.  I love how the picture is essentially monochrome except for the color in the dead branches of the tree.  

I shiver when I look at your image - from cold  and pleasure. The minimalistic forms and tones are wonderful. I probably would have wanted to extend the feel by removing the birds on the ice, but that's just me.

You have a good eye . . . thanks for sharing
