How beautiful is this.... bet my sister was there. She went to the US and Canada to have a "white Christmas" and hasn't seen a single snow flake in the week she's been there. Might have better luck as she gets closer to the east coast perhaps.

Oh... how nice the snow would be... much better than the heat we're getting now. :)

Beautiful image... love the warm light in the foreground.

Excellent triptych. Three well composed individual which are all the better displayed together as you have them.... and the sky is excellent.

Such anger in a young ducks eyes... what happened to this duckling to make him so angry? :)

Oh so beautiful again Germaine. Your photos this Whatever challenge have been truly inspiring. So many of them I could see on the walls of my home, this one included. Such a great photographer, and you can spell too. :)

This is a great photo, showing the rural decay from the inside out (whereas most others chose to show it the other way). Excellent use of B&W. Composition and detail are good... and I love the story this image seems to be telling. Only gave it a 6 in my gut-feel first pass voting pass, but clearly, looking at it now, it's deserving of much more... an 8 is more fitting I feel. Hope it does well... it's one of the best images in the challenge. Well done.

Great image. Love the mountains and the clouds... the building is too centred for my liking though. Would have given in an extra one or two if not for that I reckon... none the less... still one of the higher scoring photos from my voting contribution for this challenge.

Yet another image I was much too harsh on when doing my first pass voting. This is a wonderful image. Well composed... great detail... just wonderful all over. Reminds me of the Victorian high country after last summers fires... actually wouldn't be surprised if it actually is a photo from up there... anyway... initially gave it a 7, but now think it deserves a 9. Well done with a great image.

An excellent image for this challenge. Processed perfectly. Composition and detail are fantastic... this should get a ribbon. Originally gave it a 7 (think it was only of the early votes and I hadn't established the baseline for the challenge at the time), but clearly deserves a bump... to an 8.. perhaps for now... but I might be back after commenting on some more to bump it further.
