I am liking the frost on the oaks and the low clouds amongst the rock.

I agree with Doug, the trees are absolutely wonderful, and the remainder of the scene is very nice as well. I might try this as a B&W too since it doesn't have an abundance of color in it anyway.

Bill, you're right. It might look good as a b&w. Will do that soon. Thanks.

I really like the depth of this photograph. May I ask what settings you used?

Fantastic detail on this one. I like the muted colour. The frosted trees and mist all pull this cold scene together. :toast:

The BW idea would be really interesting to see. The composition, depth and detail are very good.

Beautiful light and conditions you had, Robb, the mist hanging in the granite peaks is awesome! :toast:

I like the concept here. The frost adds a lot to the scene. And the low cloud also add a lot here. I agree withBill to trya balck & white version here.Though I like the muted color I imagine this would even be stronger in b&w.
