Frosted Pine Needles
This photo was taken along Angeles crest HWY 2.The mountain ridges were in cloud and as the dew collected on the trees it froze. I liked the detail in this group of pine needles and thought BW conversion worked nicely because the foggy conditions drained all of the light and color from the scene.Olympus E-500
Comments and critiques welcome, I usually don't shoot many intimate scenes.

very nice Paul. this has more abstract feeling to it. the b&w conversion looks good too. no nits from me.

Paul, I really like the bright & highlighted view overall as well as the textures here. Very nice capture and post processing as well.

Cropping a bit off the top (@ 3:2 ratio) really balances this out for me. Nicely seen and captured!
