More snow! More snow!
Nice image. And, a Happy Holiday to you too.
Nice render. The water is great and the snow looks very good as well.
Just reduce that flare! :o I can’t see anymore. 
BgDM
Very nice ! I like the tree, and the snowman, and the water, and the snow, and, oh that’s everything 
Seriously I particularly liked the tree (modelled ?) and the water (a plane with stucci bumpmap ?).
Anyway well done, it’s a nice christmas card !
Cool render, and indeed of that flare, reduce it a little. And ofcourese Merry Christmas everyone.
Happy Hollidays!
If snow and water and cold weather meet dont they make ice??
Not neccessarily, it depends on where the body of water is, how deep it is, and how wide it is…

And especially wether the water moves or not. Water that stands still will freeze sooner then water that moves.
Very nice image Idgas, I even like the flare. They only thing I don’t really like is the water. It sure looks cool, but it doesn’t really look like water. It looks more like some flubber or gel-like fluid. But it’s absolutely a sweet image overall.
yea, I think it is great exept that flare and it would be more christmasy if it were to have a little ice at least little ice on the side where it starts forming. And oh yea something for the cartoonish feel, a snow angel print in the snow oh yea gotta have one of those!
I agree about he flare, maybe make it smaller and lighter-coloured, also the water looks weird because it is reflecting a different colour than the sky.
The snowman and trees are great!
Well thanks for all the comments. I really like the flare and seeing how it is my site, I’ll keep it. Didn’t know this thread was going to evolve into the discusion of how ice is formed though :-?
