Bill: Talk about a mixed message! Don't see snow and cactus/agave together very often. Really nice conversion and a fine presentation. Makes me want to sneak out to Big Bend right now. >=))>

I like the contrast Bill Fach points out, and I think the lines act together to pull in to the center. Also I like the thin, white frame line.

Unlike Bill, I prefer to look at pictures of snow than actually visit where it is:) This is definitely a sight that I have never seen & it was a great choice to do it in black & white!

Bill - Wonderful monochrome - love the leading lines bringing my eye to the central leaf and the ice there. Very nice.

A fine range of tones and good use of lines, light, and shadow.
