    Good god! These are all striking in their own way. You are conveying the magic and the spookiness of hanging arround at night in the cold in a truly remarkable way.

    The paterns and the textures in the first one are gorgeous. The foreground is somewhat muted but so detailled. You really nailed the exposure. The street lights looks like landing ufo's or something.

    How did you get those colors in the second and third one? The colors are almost too much in the third as the snow takes a strange blue tint but the sky is spectacular.

    Then again, you nailed the exposure in the fourth one. The sky in the background display enough detail to enhance the tension in the image.

    Really, these are some of the very best I have seen in a long while.

    I agree! On the first, I also really like how you've caught the sheen of the ice. I'm not sure about the lamplight in hte second since I want to just concentrate on that wonderful orange glow in the background. Lovely. My favorite is the third. It simply brings back memories of the magic of winter, where everything was hushed, cold and warm at the same time. I'll gladly take bluish snow for that lovely sky. THe fourth is also spectacular. You've even captured the buildup of the ice. Very dangerous and beautiful at the same time. Well done!

    All different, all good. # 3 is my favorite, as that sunset is awesome........ The bottom one would make a great background to pose a model against. The top shot has potential, but looks not all there.. is it oversharpened ? Needs a bit more definition and contrast.

    These are great and I think it was worth the walk in the snow and cold

    Re: Snowy Night

    #2 is my favourite, but makes me wonder if it's been photoshopped to desaturate the walls, or if the sky colour is added afterwards?
    Whatever, it's a great image, but if it's out of the camera I think it's outstanding !
