These sculpted oaks display their form best in a snowstorm. I shot this back in December but hadn't gotten around to sharing it.

Nice, Mel. Looks like dancing oaks.

Beauty! I'd like to see whiter whites, and maybe blacker blacks, too.

Love the branch patterns. Also, I saw your image of the hot air balloon and moon in the weekly challenge... unbelievable! I've never seen a shot like that before.

Thanks Jeff.

Todd, I'll work on that. I kept blowing out the sky before I could get white on the snow, but maybe I can mask it to work.

Thats pretty cool--might be interesting to posterize this so it's just black and white.
