I love unusual trees, and this is no exception. The light branches in front of the dark trunk look almost like spiderwebs :cool:

whatever that blurred line is on the left--get rid of it. :wink: Cool scene overall, i like the subject. Im wondering how a more extreme contrast version would work--since this is all about the patterns. Do a threshold command on it and see how it looks :wink:

HI Chris. Frost is great stuff. I'd hate to lose the left side of this nice comp, but I have to agree with Stan that the OOF sapling doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of this sharp scene. If you could brighten up the twigs a bit (but not the snow on the ground) I think that would make it look more striking.

I think this screams for a high contrast version. The scene has a lot of interest.

Really like the contrasts and shapes here. They really give the tree a unique character.

I really like the frost covered branches here Christine. I think I would either clone or crop out the OF elements on the left. I might also bring up the highlights / contrast. Wonderful intimate forest scene none the less.
