 I think this pic would have done alot better in color just because I could have desaturated everything but the berries which come out pretty much black here.
But, I still like the feel of this. Can never tell if I've hit the mood I was after.

I like how the white is so dominant that it fragments everything into small shapes. Larger forms have to be pieced together by the mind's eye. 8

A tad oversharpened, making thin lines pixellated, the fence is a nice separation as if to separate the living from the dead..

A really different look to your photo. It almost has an ink drawing style to it.
