Beautiful colors and composition Zack. Just enough detail in the snow and a very nice mood to this also. Great job on this.

I like your comp leading to the trees and their reflections, and the lovely colors in the sky. Nice.

A beautiful image indeed, but it makes me shiver. It screams cold. I believe I'll come back in July and view it again when I'm sweating. Thanks for sharing it Zack!

The cold is creeping out of my iPad , Zack. Excellent comp and colors , maybe a shade more detail in the shadows would help. Although I'm not convinced it would be an improvement. Pretty sweet.

I love the simplicity of this. 20º below sounds unreal sat here in the Bahamas.

Zack, Your composition works so nice here and I especially enjoy the mood of this image. The color and reflections are wonderful and I can just feel the cold in this scene! We have had a lot of that here as well.

Fantastic lead in line with the open water and the combination of warm and cool colors is spectacular, Zack. Beautifully done.

You've caught some nice contrasting motion here, Zach, with the arc of the stream flipped relative to the arc in the clouds. This has a fine combination of warmth from the sunset and chilly feeling from the snow and simple, clean comp.

Real nice comp, Zack! I think just a tad more shadow detail and it would be perfect.

Hi Zack, fantastic composition. What impresses me is the blend. Your highlight control is excellent and incredibly realistic. That reflection is just perfect when viewing the sky first. Not an easy thing to accomplish with these conditions. Agree with Stan, a bit of shadow detail would add to the realism of the image. Or, maybe a slight crop of the darker portion on the left.

Love the solitude on this one Zack and the killer colors. Definitely one of my favorite areas in the park for winter. Hope you are loving all the snow out there as more is on the way.

I quite like the composition and the effective use of leading line.
