Description I'm not going to go into how much pain I was in when I made this photo because that would spoil its beauty.

winter continues to prevail over mystic Gitche Gumee ... despite the sun.

I could just your entire gallery, it's so beautiful, especially this one! And the fact that you went to such extremes to be in pain for a shot, shows you are a worthy photographer. Amazing work!

The story behind the photo is often more interesting than the photo. Also, it can make the viewer appriciate the photo that much more.

Beautiful shot as always by the way.

Beauty is found in all manners of things...even pain, hence the beautiful moment and capture of nature you have seen and shared

hi!

another great scene! i love the colors you capture over there. but the composition of this one doesn't attract me as much as other's ive seen from you. its kinda been sittin in my watch for some time. i think its how the ice seems to overwhelm the photo.

thanks Mike ..did you read my journal? .. thats valuable input I cherish .. and you're not the first to say it either so I may have to rethink this type of comp in the future

Okay yes, we all like to encourage your "habitual need to freeze my ass off for a decent photo" However when you get frostbite, that's going a little too far. Don't turn into an icecube or break your back The more you take care of yourself.. the more photos we see
