[Leica] [IMG] [PESO]: Dew pond in the Snow

[Don Dory]

I like your choice to keep the snow just a little less than white; implying
to me some sadness in the state of the hole reinforced by the solitary
figures in the distant background.  I spent most of my life in places where
water scarcity is a concern so the concept of a small pond available after
a days travel is appealing.
