I can feel the man's sense of being at one with his environment, a rejuvenating monent. The title is very well supported here. Good work.

Quite a stark and bleak image, really evokes a feeling of solitude - and cold too! Good choice for b&w, and well titled...

Thanks for Commenting

Thank you everyone for your comments. I don't know the man in the photo, but I felt he was enjoying the bleak beauty of the frozen lake and the quiet of the day. Perhaps I was only transferring my feelings. It's quite impressive to se a like like this almost totally frozen. By the way -- in case you don't know, this is the lake that Otis Redding's plane crashed into back in the 1960s.
