  I don't often coment on POTDs, but I must make an exception in this case. This is one of the most beautiful images that I have seen. The smoothnes of the snow and the softness of the drifts is just wonderfull. Congratulations, I only wish it was in my collection.

  WOW! This is magnificant...I love the curve of the stream...the snow looks SOOOO SOFT...the muted sun and the composition of the stream leading to the trees and the sun. It's really wonderful. I'd hang it on my wall! And, I don't say that but a couple of times a year!

  This is exquisite, James, totally extraordinary! I don't think I have ever seen a better winter landscape photo at BP - or at least, not in a long, long time! The lighting is incredible, very magical both on the snow and the stream. And the textures and tones are marvelous. A stunning composition as well - very moody with a great sense of depth. Sure to be a winner! Huge Congratulations on your outstanding POTD!
