Oooooh, I LOVE THIS!!!! I'm glad it finished strong for you. Not as strong as I would have hoped, but still for this challenge, not bad :)

This is so awesome! And I have to chuckle about the "relativeness" of people's perspectives based on the culture of where they live. In Texas, this would not be considered a "mild" winter. We drop below 70, and we bring out the hooded down coats and love having a winter for a change :)

I love this photo. It just says so much in its simplicity!

Brrrrr not my idea of entertainment!

Whilst I'd have preferred a bit more depth to the clouds am thinking they lend themselves to this scene quite well. The image overall has nice low contrast feel to it and thats seems to help me feel cold looking at it lol

Very good - you might try darkening the clouds a bit, that might make it look more ominous and cold.

I am not jumping! Interesting image and story... I would be nice to take this from a higher angle, which would reduce the amount of sky in the image without detracting from subject.

Very well balanced b&w. I don't think I'd liked it if I'd jumped there though.

Very nice tonal range in this shot, and good clarity. Too bad you didn't have some silly person coming out of the water! :-) (I've done that once - it's quite the experience!)
