Yellowstone NP in winter is a place like no other. This was taken in Lamar Valley -20F. The colder the better .
I love photographing in the snow, and greatly look forward to returning to YNP this coming winter.

Hey Chas,
Yes to all of the above......curve of river.....placement of trees covered with frost.....but the subtle grays (I'd imagine from fog or rising mist) leading to the mountains.....just great!

[Dennis "Curly" Buchner]

Great image Chas, the river leads you though the image very nice composition. I love winter images also since I live in Northern Michigan where it is winter 7 months out of the year

[Dave Mills]

Beautiful, can't wait for winter over here. You captured a winter wonder land:D

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Beautiful composition and exposure. Composed of few number of elements which make this image very effective for me. I however do not wish for winter:(

[David Kennedy]

Chas, are these trees in Yellowstone your "haystacks?" I feel like I've seen you post similar photos in years past. Nicely done!

[Richard Lovison]

Well done Charles. Love the composition with the placement of the trees and stream. Beautiful detail in the whites. Sky looks polarized.

-20f? I can't even imagine that cold. Figure your eyebrow would freeze to the view finder..
Beautiful picture, can't even imagine a place like that. I need to get out of Houston more...

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Beautiful scene. For those like me that are used to rain forest can't imaging how cold -20F could be!
Love the white and blue here. Congrats.
