A Toronto Polar Bear Club swimmer after taking a dip in the freezing water of Lake Ontario with more than 200 other brave souls on New Year's Day.

Lovin' this portrait - can feel the cold coming out of the subject's facial expression. Well-captured!

Well, at least he seems happy that it's done... Very cool portrait with lovely DOF.
Brave, or just stupid? :D Like David said, I can really feel the cold through my monitor. Terrible!
I don't think I could do that, I like being warm too much.
I admire that kind of people. Portrait is great! I really like the details on face and colour of the eyes.
This is one club I don't want to join! you've brought the cold feeling out very well in this image
great portrait,will go to get a hot shower.
Can just feel the cool - get that man a towel! love the composition.
Great shot! The blue-ish colour of the image really adds to the cold feeling!
Wonderful cool tones - work well with his eyes and red face. This the 85 1.2 or 1.8? just curious how shallow this is shot at.
I could never understand... home town Cleveland had a chapter that would dive into Lake Erie.. chills do not thrill me.
Fantastic!!!!
Intense shot, the man makes me feel the cold of the place becouse his face. Impressive focus. Great job. ps: Great photoblog, I didn't know about it. Congratulations.
Pretty intense portrait. You can really feel the temperature (or lack thereof) in this shot.
great and once more great ,and COOOOOLD
Hmmm. Never mind the cold, the man has serious haircut issues.
A simply amazing capture. So much life in his eyes.
