Thanks, Dominick; the original version it turns out, had a visible blue cast to the snow, which I'd failed to notice at the time. #8649894

You can keep the chill -- though I'll probably be singing another tune in a month or so. This is beautiful, Chris, but I don't miss the season. #8653397

Many thanks, everyone! I'm still beaming this month! This is one of my favorite images shot this year (there hasn't been much shooting, compared to past years) and I am thrilled that the rework of this image made it! (The first attempt had a blueish cast I hadn't noticed initially.) #8763875

OM GOSH! Chris! THIS is BEAUTIFUL!!!! WOW! I had to just sit and appreciate it for a while!

You do such beautiful work.

Chris Budny January 25, 2012 1

Thank you very much, Merna & Laura!
Glad you found it, and enjoyed it, Laura! I sure would love for us to get another snowfall like the one shown here... it was a record-setter, and I missed most of it because my job was in NYC that year. #9941581

Stunning work, Chris!! #11444705

Laura E. Swan March 10, 2016 0

And now it has been chosen by Jim Mioke himself as one of his favorite photos in all of the 20 years of the club! Check your e-mail Chris. I sent you a notice. (If you didnt receive it let me know. I might has an old e-mail address for you.) #11444712

Thanks, Laura for the info... And, belatedly, Terry! #11444757

Melinda F. Schneider March 10, 2016 0

A splendid image, Chris! It certainly deserves to be "Best of the Best!!" #11445030

Chris Budny March 10, 2016 0

Thanks Melinda -- but I don't think the results have been announced for that yet -- and I don't think I saw this one in the set of "All Time Editor Picks" so I don't think it is in the running at this point ;)
Still, a great favorite of mine, too! #11445108
