Air Temp 32F with 15 kt wind...Water Temp - Much Warmer - and yes, it gets so much colder up north, but this is FLORIDA - WTF - Tonight will be in the teens.....Arrrggghhh

It does look cold, even from Boston, where we are in the teens with 6-12" of snow coming down, and blizzard conditions on the coast.

Chris I know you are hating the weather and all but that is one striking image!
I live in a similar tropical/subtropical location (Australian east coast) at roughly similar latitude to you.
I have never experienced what you describe in your post (air temperatures just never get down that far here).
I don't know exactly how the light was but the image has a slightly desaturated look that really enhances the impression of the cold (Eric also commented on this).
It is a very pleasing image at an aesthetic level (all elements combine very well) but it also documents a fascinating natural phenomenon - all in all a winner!

I worked the blue channel down a tad and did an expanded midtones adjustment, again pushing the mid blues down a bit more to enhance the "cold" factor. The wind was the real killer out there which brought the temps down to around 19 degrees F and tonight we are looking at similar temps hitting in the 12-15 degree F with wind chill factor. Four days ago, I was running around in a t-shirt and shorts.

I forgot to add that I like the photo. The lone figure, bundled up but looking very cold adds to the effect.
-
This is a hand stitched pano of what I shot this morning, sans the lone figure who I removed to complete the feeling of isolation...but it's just too long an image and size to be useful. Oh well.
-
Good one, Chris. 32 can certainly be cold.
-
Good image, evokes solitude and mistery.
-
Very nice. I agree with Eric about the lone figure.
-
wonderful soft and rich tones/transitions, and pleasurable subject and compo. I like it.
