Ah, the classic bait-and-switch. When I first started my photo blog I posted an image of my beautiful wife and was staggered when I checked my photoblog the next day and found I’d had more visits in a single 24 hours than all the days before combined. I had innocently (and I’m not lying here) titled the image Beach Beauty which apparently drove people to check it out. Okay, by people I think I probably mean dudes. Ladies, on behalf of guys I’d like to apologize; we are, it turns out, terrible.
This title and post are just a little fun for the winter season. I hope everyone is staying warm this winter (and cool if you’re down south). Cheers!

perfect black and white, delicate in levels and very good in details, also frame is perfect for me, nicely done, Chris
Thanks Fabrizio!
Haha, I like this idea. Let’s see what happens. =D
These shoes made for ice rings look very exotic for me, who is living in a tropical country
I notice that one shoe looks out of its place.
Where was it shot: in a shop or at an ice ring?
Yes, I suppose they would seem very exotic to you. They are from an actual rink that was set up in my community but only for the Holidays. I think they use dry ice underneath to keep it frozen in the hot weather. Children (and adults) can go for a little skate and hear festive music. It’s very fun!
Cheers!
fun title and cool shot
Thanks yz!
Ton cadrage est parfaitement adapté pour cette composition originale. J’aime beaucoup…
Merci Beaucoup RDL!
fun shot and great crop!
Thanks Pau!
Great couple you have here, lace like links, and you can see how deep they love each other despite the chill ! Great double “portrait’ !
Thanks k@!
I don’t think I would be able to keep my balance on those narrow edges!!
Hi Mr. Crab–thanks for the comment and for dropping by my site!
Very cool. I’ve always been a little jealous of those that can skate!
Thanks Sheila! It’s loads of fun!
I like the title – and your comments on the slight unintentional subterfuge. So being male – and with due apologies to the ladies – I took a look at “Beach Beauty”. ..a lovely facial profile.
Thanks George!
Great photo, wonderful tones and framing, and VERY clever title. I won’t lie, I saw it on my iGoogle page and clicked through, immediately curious. And I don’t even have the excuse of being a guy!
Awesome!
Thanks Corinna!
Christopher i read the text and you make me smile – great choise with the title.
– The shot is well framed and i like the good contrasts. We also have very cold winter days, but the next summer is coming.
Thanks so much Klaus!
I like all of the white in this one. Nice macro of something different.
Thanks Sherri!
Your wife is quite lovely indeed. And I love the title for this shot!
Thanks Kala!
A very nice BW. The gradation is great and there are so many little details in the photo to absorb. And I know–I’m terrible–but that doesn’t change the fact that your wife IS beautiful.
Couldn’t agree more, on the wife front that is Phil. Thanks!
The picture of your wife really is a great one Chris,
Compliments on this one as well, nice framing well processed and a well chosen title
Thanks much Dave!
