A couple of intrepid ramblers skate along the tow path of a frozen Rochdale canal in Middleton, their vivid Winter clothing standing out against the bleak cold of the mute landscape (emphasised by the reduction in background colour to black and white).
*Shot on a Canon 350d 8.2mp dSLR using a Sigma 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DG macro lens set at ISO-400, f/4, pattern metering mode and an exposure time of 1/640 seconds*
