501st Show & Tell Competition: Cold, cold, cold - WINNER

[kzaret]

Very impressive entries into this contest! I gave an edge to shots that really made the viewer feel the cold, plus had beauty, over shots of beauty in the cold. Whatever-

Honorable mentions:

A brave shot from John Medlin- brave in its simplicity in depicting the freezing weather


Simple cold - Arnie Peterschmidt


Chunks of ice gathering - Jola - good eye


Can't help but credit someone braving the cold- Stevemaz


This sunset (?) from Carol P. looks like a cold day about to get colder


And here's Walter K. toughing it out with a cool ceviche in a cafe in San Diego...


Lovely image from Mardoli - close to the top for me


Gorgeous abstract, cold nature shot from Markus G.


THIRD PLACE: Cold, cold, cold, for sure, from Mardoli


SECOND PLACE: This depicts cold and beautiful - from Gill Kopy


FIRST PLACE: One of my faves as soon as I saw it- cold, beauty, and color, all in one shot, from Luxun54


Your turn, Luxin 54!

Wow, thank you so much Ken! So many great shots in this contest, thank you for choosing mine, and congrats to the other winners and HMs.
This one was taken right around midnight, just before sunset in Iceland in June. Sunrise was about 3:00am, so it really was midnight sun, just a few days before the solstice.
I'll get a new contest posted shortly.
