  Perfect! What a beautiful winter scene! Excellently comped and framed, great contrasting b/w tones and like Randy, the condensation around the window glass is like the icing on the cake for this spectacular and well-thought out view. Add another Fave, Dayna (and put another log on the fire - it looks cold out there! :) :)

  I so enjoy this, Dayna. That frosting around the frames of the window, the feel of cold coming through the glass. Softness where it counts, crispness where it counts. Beautiful work here.

  YOU took a very simple B&W shot and made it into a very special shot! by adjusting framing of subject to the left you opened up the shot to see all! By putting a frame into a Frame also added to its uniqueness, EXTREMELY well done! concept to production!

Merna L. Nobile
  Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of February, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile
