It made me cold!

Me, too!  I wasn't as prepared for the cold weather as I should have been.  As soon as the sun got low in the sky, the wind picked up and by the time I took this and walked all the way back to where we were parked, my extremeties were starting to feel numb.  It hurt, too.  I don't want to ever be that cold again.  Live and learn!  Wear the longies...be prepared!   

Yes, and be sure your head is covered!  I forget the percentage, but a whole lot of body heat is lost through the head.

I love the title you chose.

Your picture is amazing!  well done.  Next time wear your longies!  Or a skidoo suit.

Glad there was no frostbite involved.   But it's a great shot.  Worth a little pain, I think.

Kathleen-that is gorgeous. Perfect timing...just curious-did you use a polarizer? It was worth the little pain and suspect you may have stayed longer if you were dressed warmer. Sometimes I think photographers push it a little for that last shot and usually when you do-you get the best ones, 

Thanks for all the c/c!  I appreciate it very much.

Judy-What's a skidoo suit?  I haven't heard of those.

Jeanne Lee-Yeah, I wasn't wearing a hat, either.  I told you I wasn't prepared!  For an outdoor photographer living in Idaho, I'm not well prepared for the cold.  I need to invest in some really good sub-zero type apparel.

Barbarian-no frostbite, but my finger that had frostbite last year (not from shooting outdoors, but that's another long story) is VERY SENSATIVE to cold, now.  Fortunately, I do have some decent gloves with liners.  I need ones that keep the wind out, though.

Juanital-Yes, I used a polarizer.  Also, a little secret...don't tell anyone, k?  I did a little extra post-processing on this one to make it look darker and bluer than the actual image.  I like how it turned out, even though it's not actually as I saw it that evening.  Almost entered this one in the Best of 2009 challenge.
