Cold and Blue

Congratulations on winning the contest! Your photo is incredible, very well executed and goes perfect with the contest theme of cold and blue. I really like the pink tones here, which complement the blue colors nicely without overpowering them. The composition and timing of this shot are excellent, and I am curious as to where this photo was taken. Great job. You rightfully get first place!

Congratulations on second place! The way you captured the shapes and textures on the ice is great. I like the vertical composition, which frames the ice very well. The color tones in this image are pleasing and the blue is not too overpowering. Beautiful work!

Congratulations on fourth place! I really like the dreamy purplish blue color in this photo. The frozen lake shows that it's not slightly cold, but freezing in this scenery. The composition here is very good with the bench in the foreground as a focal point and the snowy mountains in the background for balance. Great work!

Congratulations on fifth place! The sunlight in this image brings out beautiful crisp colors of white and blue. I really like how the dark clouds in the sky contrast with the overall positive feeling of the sunlight. I also like how you framed the mountains in the center of the image. Good job!

Congratulations on third place! I really enjoy looking at this image because of the simple lines, soft tones and peaceful scenery. The element of the sun adds a wonderful focal point. Even though there is warmth coming from the sun, it feels far away and only highlights the cold aspect even more. Amazing job!
