The shopping carts is a great graphic image, as well as a kind of statement about mass consumerism and all that - I love it! The people are a little crowded in the edge of the frame, but that's a minor point, and better than having too much noise around the fringes. And the landscape is - cold! Very beautiful composition and excellent exposure. I could look at that shot a long time, but it does make me shiver! That fog looks like snow to me, I don't know why. I didn't realize it was fog until I read your post. Maco IR looks like fun too.
