    looks like a McDonalds cup vmlopes.

    I like this one Don, nice composition with that little spash of color in the leaves at the top right, and the grassy patch in the foreground like this is exactly where the glacier stopped.

    I like how the light illuminates the top of the rocks, though it does look fake somehow (but maybe it isn't..).

    I like it. It confirms my concept of how the 'city' turns the beauty of winter into a dull gray, dirty snow bank. - TF

    Does look like a glacier.
    Would be cool if Rufus were standing in front of it.

    I like the shot. Does look a little over sharpened but could be my cheap laptop. The cup looks like it is getting "beamed" into the shot .

    Re: Urban Glacier

    Sharpened like mad, and a dodged glow around the McCup, leaf colour looks overdone too.
    Looks like a McBag at the bottom of the tree, too, as well as the cup.
    Sky blown out.

    But still it conveys that title exactly.
    The shovelled or ploughed snow looks like a mini-glacier.

    Don,

    Not much more to add but I like it.

    I love the face in the big boulder, looks like its crying or perhaps about to eat the one in front.
