Description Strange composition, yes. --Or, more honestly perhaps, poor composition. -Regardless, I love this image, --it gives my memory a snort of that COLD day on the lake.

(EDIT-- Image was cropped a bit more, post-submission. I feel better about it now.) Thanks, everyone. *smooch*

didn't you already submitted something like that a while ago? It's cool nonetheless, maybe just a little bit to dark on the right border
