Thank you for all of your comments. For those that commented on the softness in the middle of the shot, that is from the frost on the bushes making them look fuzzy. They are in a low spot and so hold the morning frost longer.

I love this image, very nice composition, the quality is just superb - I don't know if it comes out of the camera like this, or is it editing, but I truly wish to be able to create work like this. Top 5 favorite for this challenge - Adding to favorites :)
I like rustic look you were going for with the image. The image is a bit flat. I think allowing for more contrast (not too much of course) with the blacks and whites would really sharpen this up. Otherwise nice job.
Good subject for B&W, you need to add more contrast to it to give it some life. Make it a little brighter and adjust the contrast and it will jump off the screen at us.
Really interesting angles. I like the way the tree line echoes the prescence of the buildings. For some reason it looks soft in the center, strange, maybe too much USM 8
