Social Distancing is easy when the world around you is bleak and unforgiving

Thanks for the explanation in your notes and in the forums during voting (though I could only guess which one was yours, I was right). I voted on these entries as I would have voted on any other challenge, but I left comments on every one of them explaining my vote. Sometimes the viewer won't or can't see what the photographer is trying to illustrate and such was the case here.

I'd pegged this one for the blue or yellow. Very creative thinking on this. 6.98 isn't anything disappointing though!

Too bad I don't have these awesome furry cows in Texas. I do have longhorns though. I should keep them in mind more often.

Pleasing scene, but comes off to me a bit flat. Perhaps some stronger contrast or selective editing to bring out some of those wonderful details?

Not much here to entertain my eyes, I'm afraid. Perhaps there were some interesting patterns in the snow and ice you might have focused on.

Wonderful reflection. Just the reflection on it's own would have made a stronger impact on me, however. The small bit of shore at the top draws my eyes upward to the least interesting part of the image.

Lovely clouds. The trees at the right and left are trying to draw my eyes away from it, though.

Not doing much for me, I'm afraid. There are a lot of distracting elements around the edges of the scene that don't add anything to the subject. Getting in closer to the pond and getting the lily pads and perhaps that tree refelction filling the frame would have been appealing to me.
