Probably just my monitor, but there is something wierd going on just above the horizon line. Not a big deal and may be compression artifacts. Nice cold, blue, picture.

There are places that beg for me to be there with a cup of coffee and just take it all in. This is one of them. Nice feeling and nice capture.

What I really love about this photo is how everything is iced over..... great composition and well focussed.. the blue is on the warm side and maybe a cooler blue would have been a better choice.... still, a really good photo that suits the challenge and makes me shiver!

Great shot, but the sky seem very pixelated and there is a ghost around the arches.

Beautiful scene. There are numerous artifacts that detract from this otherwise really great shot.

My goodness. I don't think I have ever seen anything like this. I love the ice shrouded benches and gazebo. Great tones too.

Great duotone. I might have done the border in the dark blue instead of black and the horizon line appears a bit pixelated, but very cool (no pun intended) capture.

Like a scene from Narnia, good choice of cold blue duotone. Maybe a slightly different composition based on rule of thirds might have worked better. I think I'd have liked to see more of the frozen ground as it has great tone and contrast.

Excellent catch and amusing title. The tones suit the shot.

The blue tone adds to the feeling of cold, I need to go turn up the heat.
