Lucky shot on the ice

[JansonPhoto]

I was out in the woods late december. I found this lake that was frozen, but had about 1cm with water on top.
I walked out and tried a few frames, but the wind was so violent that I had to run after the tripod a few times (not easy in the dark on a Very slippery ice-covered lake :p )
But I ended up with this:



What do you guys think?

Very nice vibrant colours. Worth printing and hanging on a wall.

+1. Lovely stuff.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

I agree. The result was well worth your suffering.

[Bob_B]

Oh yeah! Definitely worth a large print.

If you read the original post then the poster stated that it was very windy, hence the softness?

I had a few shorter with some added light and upped ISO, but it made the ice very ugly :p


Thank you all for nice comments
