Maybe the most beautiful image I've seen in this contest.

So beautiful it hurts me. Oh, wow. Everything -- the negative space in the foreground, the clouds, the background, and especially the two trees that seem to reflect each other. Wow again. 10

Back to comment: I've bumped this three times as I've sorted through the entries and composition and B&W conversion of this image earns one of the three 10's I'm giving out in this challenge. Wonderful image and I hope to see it with a ribbon.

Wonderful black and white. The tones and gradients are outstanding and the conrast is just perfect. I give you a ten.

As I mentioned earlier I am a sucker for B/W and this is a nice example. I love the contrast of the two trees against the background. Also the "Rule of Thirds" has been applied very nicely! Great job!

Beautiful shot. The clouds really add to this.
Post actions
Absolutely gorgeous. The sky is wonderful and the two trees leaning every so slightly towards each other gives this a quiet sense of warmth despite the snow.
