Frost at the river bank

Oh, this is lovely, especially the larger version. Living in Florida I've never seen a scene like this before - it's so delicate and fresh. Great job.

Fantastic image Paulo. The ice covered foliage looks so delicate. I also like the light on the tree trunks and the presence of the ducks.

The light splotches add a real sense of dimension that may otherwise not be seen without the ice. Great textures and colors, also Paolo.

This is amazing, Paolo. The composition and light are doing a fine little dance together.

Cool shot Paolo. I like the way the blue cast makes you feel the cold. I also like the comp with the water and the ducks in the LLC.

Gorgeous! The mix of the frost with the light on the trunks is really nice.

Congrats, Paolo--you dioscovered "Compression Hell"
This is real nice. As nice as the light on the tree on the rhs is, i still prefer a 4X5 vertical of the lhs here more--the balance feels better to me because the water/birds are such an important element here.
Beautiful shot!

Oh man this is awesome! Incredible textures in the trees, and light, and man, those ducks?! Unreal.. awesome work!

Well seen and composed. I like the way you've brought out the microcontrast of the frosted branches and emphasized the color of the tree trunks.

Really nice scene, it has an infrared look & feel that I like

I like it, great detail, nice handling of exposure. I might take a little of the blue cast down some, though.

This is fantastic. Great textures and colors. And nice details. The frost on the branches is just gorgeous in that light. Great work

Love the mix of cold texture and warm light. Beautiful work..

The soft light works wonders on the frost here. Larger version definitely renders the details more effectively. I'm not sold on the composition, though. I feel the wedge of water is a bit disjointed compositionally from the rest of the image. An abstract focusing on the frost and trunks would be more effective IMO given these conditions.

Amazing shot, Paolo. Beautiful composition & wonderful light!

Wonderful treatment of the light and color, Paolo. A really beautiful photo. It seems to be alive.

Wow, great effect Paolo, it really brings out the detail in the branches. The trees provide some great anchors and the ducks is a special addition. Great job.

Wow Paolo, this makes quite an impact. Love the luminosity. Very, very beautiful scene. I love it!

Beautiful ! frost , light and color are amazing

This is very very sweet Paolo, the light and frost is amazing, and the ducks really add alot. Excellent!.

Beautiful. Fantastic light and detail. Good you didn't give up! The large version is a real pleasure to look at.

Fantastic! This is far enough beyond my experience the only comment I can make is that I will probably come back to view it many times. Thanks for sharing.

Stunning combination of light and hoarfrost!

Sensational image, Paolo! Complete with ducklings, too. The frost is gorgeous, the detail extraordinary. Love the combination of colors that portray a cold that should melt away to an early Spring day. At least that's the feeling I get when looking at this. Love it!

This is really beautiful! Nice work

Paolo,

Just stunning. The detail in a large print must be staggering. I love the highlights and the hint of warm light. The diagonal gives it a nice flow. I am unsure of the ducks though.

Great one Paolo. It has a certain surreal look about it that I really dig. Congrats on the Outdoor Photographer article as well - just saw it.

Incredible detail, and nice light. It's just a great image of a wonderful scene.

A superb composition, and capture of light and form.

Paolo,
Absolutely gorgeous scene. How daring of you to shoot it as a 4-part stitch with the ducks swimming around!
