What a beautiful frosty morning shot Andrew, like the shadows and good lighting

 

[Carl Ayling]

Brrrrrr! Beautiful pastel shades to the sky and that lovely sunlight bathing the scene. Yep, great morning to enjoy a stroll.

 

[posiview]

Beautiful morning indeed.

Nicely exposed.

Cheers.

 

[LC2]

Brrrr, I would have thought "Baby, It's Cold Outside" more appropriate.
Oklahoma brings thoughts of heat which that surely doesn't

 

[CliveH]

And that is a beauty!

 

[Emja]

Certainly is - gorgeous light and I love the long shadows across the grass.

 

[susiejb]

Something special about these cool frosty mornings isn't there Andrew, perfect for your song choice.

 

[Dark Knight]

Oh what a beautiful day.... Etc. Nice to see some sunshine, good opening image Andrew

 

[Manxmaid]

Super frosty landscape, Andrew, and you've captured a real sense of a winter morning with that harsh, cold light. You're off to a great start

 

[brrnd]

Great photo, I like the colours and the shadows. And the frostiness!

 

[SevernBore]

Order:

[Fuji Dave]

A nice cold looking shot Andrew, I do like shots of these

 

[Dark Knight]

Descending order of size Andrew ??

 

[Carl Ayling]

I like your thinking Andrew ... those pylons contrast well against that plain white (fog) bg.

 

[posiview]

Order, I'm a sucker for pylons.

Pity they weren't in a nice, empty field, but are they ever

Cheers.

 

[Ian W]

Pylons look great. Nice lines (literally) and a really nice B&W conversion.

 

[Emja]

That works well - I like the horizontal strip of grass along the bottom as balance to the diagonals.

 

[Pinkbikerbabe]

Week 0 and week 1 two great images to kick your 2017 challenge off with, I really like both of them well done.

 

[susiejb]

I love pylons too ...don't see so many now, it works perfectly for the theme Andrew, and spot on with the b&w.

 

[LC2]

I'd love to have seen brooding skies, but I guess if the sky was flat, there was nowt you could do about it.

 

[foggy4ever]

Just the right angle to catch the flow of the cables and the order of the pylons, suits B&W too.

 

[brrnd]

Works well, but I would have cloned the bird out

 

[wallyboy]

Well on theme....maybe more of a distant shot if poss to give it more depth.

Comfort:

[Fuji Dave]

Good focus on Eddie`s face, like how the eyes are not totally shut, he looks very nice and comfortable

 

[Carl Ayling]

That is a beautiful photo of Eddie. Love the soft tonal variations in his fur - oozes Comfort from every paw ... I mean pore.

 

[Emja]

He certainly looks snug Andrew - nice detail on his face, too. I'd prefer some eye contact, but a bit tricky if he's half asleep!

 

[Ms_Tex]

Nice detail on Eddie's face. The blanket(?), wall and curtain make a great neutral background to separate him from his surroundings. This definitely captures the theme - that's one comfortable dog!

 

[Hertsman]

Absolute sucker for any dog pics, so thumbs up from me.
Lovely looking dog.

 

[Minx]

Song - have to say it make me think more of here we go gathering nuts in May as that is on a cold and frosty morning, but I like the frosty scene and its long shadows.
Order - The Pylons are certainly very orderly, I like the B/W the Pylons really stand out against the foggy background
Comfort - He certainly looks comfortable and settled in for nap. Nicely focusd on his face I love the eyes he looks nearly asleep.

 

[LC2]

Hi Andrew.
Would there have been an opportunity to get a bit lower and perhaps get the eyes?
He certainly looks comfortable

 

[brrnd]

Lovely dog, I think the beige in beige background works in this case. Well focussed on the head, as Tim said above, maybe a slightly lower point of view.

 

[SevernBore]

Hairy -Hoary Frost-1030510.jpg by SevernBore, on Flickr Hoar Frost

 

[susiejb]

I love hoar frost Andrew and we rarely get one down here ...we'll spotted for the topic....that post certainly looks hairy.

 

[Greedier]

Week 2 - Great looking dog, he looks content on the cushion, nice and sharp too, i like the detail, i agree with the previous comments about a lower point of view but its a great image none the less!

Week 3 - Beautiful shot! really like how the lights hitting the ice, a great way to express the theme

 

[Carl Ayling]

Lovely detail and light on that stump - certainly looks Hoary ... I mean Hairy.

 

[magpiedom]

Don't think I've seen hoar frost like that before, nice spot for the theme.

 

[Dark Knight]

Ahhhh nice one Andrew, I was thinking of something like that to do today, but the weather is not quite that cold here, more just damp, nice detail there and well lit

 

[granddad john]

You caught the sunlight just perfectly Andrew. A real contrast with the oof shaded part. Great shot!
