A 10 metre diving board covered in snow... You really know how to attract the tourist trade up there...
Wonderfully weird. I like the way the landings on either side of the steps break the symmetry.

great POV- works well in mono
Since it has been plus two here today, minus 8 sounds like a horror story; but I only thaw out at plus 20 
Against the rigid symmetry of the railings the intermediate boards look like giant steps for diver-kind. I rather like the detail asymmetry formed by the footprints and other slight disturbances of the snow; it's kind of contrasting texture to the looming clouds. Excellent use of the format, btw.

I like the format you've used; it accentuates the nice low pov. Nice range of tones, and some luscious deep blacks. I'm very much in the mono mood these days.
I think spring needs to get here soon!

Excellent pov and a lot of impact here.
And here was me Malc, just complaining that my wife run too much cold water in my bath.
I think I will need to get a French Maid in who knows how to keep my temperature just right.
But I suppose my wife will insist I wear my speedo's !!
Good chilly shot.

That looks like torture, Malc! Everything about the scene says cold and brooding. Sorry about your weather - I hate to make you envious but today, it was like summer here and I took a nature walk without even a sweater! very unusual for this time of year.

Diving in here makes me think of the cartoon character "Road Runner" with a flat top to his head. I'm trying to keep my mind off the thought of you in speedos Malcolm. You've plunged right in here with this marvellous cool image. I suppose a good beating with some twigs would get the circulation back?

No chance of seeing you dive in then?! 
Great shot, Malc, like the low angle

I have been waiting for your ''this years'' views of your snow, and what do you do

Great view point Malc, and again i like the treatment you've given it. Very good subject matter too.

Terrific perspective and an image perfectly suited to monochrome, winter has set in here too
The fear of a 10 metre board comes across
The foreboding weather also tells a story
And the symmetry is great.
******
A touch more lighting on the steps
Perhaps a longer focal length lens to foreshorten the view would make it stand out.
Of course it needs some human element on the top board
