Fantastic!! Where did you go for this one? This really has a beautiful, romantic feel to it and great composition. I went to Fukushima a few weeks ago, bad timing cause I would have loved to have used some of the landscpes for this challenge! This should do really well! A true winter wonderland! Great work!

This is a spectacular image. A magical delicate atmosphere emmanates from this photo. I am very impressed by the frost textures on the layers of branches contrasting so elegantly with the background evergreens. The cool haze in the distance really accentuates the mood. And the water is a lovely gentle hue that is so complimentary to the other colors in the image. A deep brooding blue brook certainly would not be appropriate. I like the accent of ice rock in the lower right corner. A nice touch of interest that anchors the eye roving down the stream. I guess you could fairly call this the " Made my first million on this calendar shot". If not that than at least endless raving reviews from other drolling envious DPC participants. A magnificent work.

An eerie, almost surreal image. That rock in the river in the lower right distracts a bit, but just a tiny bit. The words "Ghostly Beauty" seem appropriate for this. Very well done!
