Great shot, but I'm not seeing the connection to *people* passing time.

Lovely image!

I really enjoy the dynamic the fog plays in this picture. It gives everything a nice ghostly stillness that works well with your title and of course the challenge. The focus looks pretty good, considering the fog gives everything a general haze as it is. The use of natural light works very well.

I wish there was a bit more contrast to the image though, if the ship was a smidge darker, its dark hull being brought out a little more to let it coincide with the silhouette of the bird, I think that would make the image just that much more interesting. It would also help create an even stronger contrast to the grey fog/mist.

I'm not sure about this, but I think a slender border might be helpful too. As it is, the fog glides across the frame, and my eyes tend to trail with it, so a border would be a nice "stopping" point and cradle the image all together.

Two fairly minor points really. All in all this is an excellent capture, great composition, lovely imagery. Well done. I gave a 7.

Stunning. I love the way you have the heron (I guess) so sharp and dark and everything else much softer.

What an awesome photo. The sillhoueted ingret and the ship looming in the distance. Minor suggestion...would clone out chain to ship and that stick to the left of the bird. Just minor thoughts though....love the photo.

A very serene and contrasting composition. A 9 from me.

You stand in the middle of a frozen body of water and wait for a ship to come, to pass the time? Hey, to each his/her own :-) All in all a very nice image.

Simply wonderful. The ships seems so out of place and the bird's got a pose to go with that, like 'what the heck?'. And that's what I feel too. Great!
