On New Years Day we had still weather with -3 degrees here on the Southwest of Iceland. Pine needles, straws, fences, including the barbed wire, had this picturesque white frost which we call “hrím”. I know this is not the most original subject, many have done this before, but from the photos of fences I shot that day I like this most.

So pretty. Beautiful bokeh and the frosty wire is so cool. Back to bump you up but only to 8 because my eyes would like to see the frost/fence a bit sharper. A touch of halo on the inside of the border from either sharpening or noise reduction after bordering the image possibly. Still one of the nicer images in this challenge IMO.
fabulous image - I wanted to do the same thing but our weather wouldn't cooperate - a little fuzzy in the details & a little noisy in the background | a hair more contrast would have been stellar
all & all excellent work, this is one of my favorites in this challenge - hope you ribbon! :~) << 9 >>
one of the, if not the, sharpest image(s) of the challenge. i wonder having smooth bokeh by sharpening forground and background differently would help the shot. nonetheless my favourite with a 9.
fantastic! the ice crystals "make" the shot....(spikes on top of spikes)....not sure about the background - glad it is so defocused, but still a bit busy....
Beautiful. I love the bokeh and the fact that I can see the spikey ice crystals on the fence. This looks like an ursula image. Beautiful choice of blue. 9
That's a great shot, I would like you get the same ribbon as the wire is.
I had very similar idea but then I decided to sumit a central composition. 10
