Nice set. I especially like the trees in #2 and the bikes in #3.

No snow here in this part of Scotland and we went dinghy racing today without getting really cold.

Some lovely sharp images there!

Is that a Christmas tree floating on a raft in Img.5?!
I think a crop of the bottom right quarter of that image would look great too.

It might, but methinks that the bottom right quarter is what sort of makes it a Stanislaw image....
I like 3 and 4, but they all make for a nice winter set.

Thanks for marks and remarks, carpe diem as the snow is already melting away. Pity I didn`t up myself to more serious snow shooting project like the one, if you remember, I did some winter ago, the one with snow ball throwing.
As to lower right corner crop, you are right in a way that the pict contains many elements that could be cropped to give separate interpretation. That`s what I thought seeing the pict. There`s the bridge, a man walking over it, a christmas tree, that`s right, in the middle of frozen pond, a pair of greek antik wrestling althets and a curtain/backdrop of snow capped rushes behind. Still a certain eye for composition and a choice of focal lenght certainly helps, especially when shooting 12MP APS-C, comparing with crop possibility of a 36MP full frame sensor, not talking of latest wunderbaby Pentax 645. Well, a little shooting discipline is a key to my little snow capped head. Stanislaw

Snow also melting here in Vienna, Stanislaw.
Finally managed to take a photograph with my new toy...please excuse the colour though, but it is quite modest! Nice set up there, by the way. Will need to get my black and white glasses on and get out there again...

I love the bikes Stanislaw.
Snow is a thing that digital cameras seen to render really nicely with the graduation of greys.

The bikes are a winner for me, too, Stanislaw. Also the "face" on the first shot is a great find.
