Woodland Lace

I enjoy those shots of trees in open spaces that show off the intricate white coat of snow on every twig. I also enjoy my local woodlands when the "sticky snow" falls and the intricate lacework totally surrounds me. How do you shoot that? There are no isolated trees; they are all intertwined into a single huge organism -- the forest. It extends in all directions for miles, and I am inside it.

A COMPROMISE. I see dozens of macro subjects with every step I take, but those don't capture the feeling of being overwhelmed by the beauty that engulfs me. A super-wide shot would work if I could print it large enough to cover a wall, but the details that make it beautiful would be lost in a print small enough to hold or display on a computer screen. Is a compromise possible? Here's my attempt to make a composition when the subject is "everything" but the beauty of it is contained in the tiny details.

Please see the large version. The image is full of fine details, so I had to reduce the quality to 58% to post the even large version.
