Fantastic picture! One of the best I've seen. Good story telling, mood, composition, and depth of field. Really hope you win this contest!

Great shot. It is one thing being cold but cold and alone would be a bit sad. I hope he is not alone but just out for an adventure on a cold day. I love the snowy road ahead that he is obviously going to be traveling on. Also the bits of red colors in the trees, very nice.

Like this one. The man seems to be at the decision point. Do I or do I not take this path? The path seems to have a draw that wants to pull he man in.

Very nice composition. The focus works well, a soft background on this one would have lost the feel.

Well done, a nice image that is more than its simplicity.

A beautiful scene of cold winter. The very look at this landscape makes one feel the cold. The sharpness colours and he com,position have worked well. Thanks for sharing!

I like how this path leads us down to the unknown, mystery surround this entry.


It seems the man is contemplating on whether to travel down that road, very thought provoking piece.

Comment from MJ's Photography
Beautiful, thought provoking image of an older gentleman walking on a cold winter day. He seems like he has stopped walking and is thinking about something. Perhaps he feels it is time to head for home and a hot cup of tea. Great story telling abilities and creatively presented. Good luck in the contest.
