  Oh, I LOVE this one, Jeff! Beautiful composition and I love the conversion to b&w!! The only thing I would change is cropping/cloning out the dark grass at the bottom of the frame - it tends to pull my eye downward. This is absolutely beautiful though!!

  Your scene is stunning and so delicate that it looks like a pencil drawing. I really like the desolation and loneliness of this scene, Bill!!

  Beautiful Jeff. I love the b/w, composition and the starkness of this scene. Winter has it's own kind of beauty, quieter with a sense of peace...
