As a Mich-i-gan-der and having seen some of the most beautiful winter photograph's of our Lake Michigan lites, I would say it would be extremely difficult to get the effect in a HL winter piece that a color photograph blown up and framed on your wall (like we have) GRABS your attention with. Not being a sculptur, this may be the best they can do with a piece PLASTERED from head to toe with ice. But, the two are not in the same class.
