Etched in Ice & BW Version

LARGER VERSION RECOMMENDED - I think even the Large suffers from reducing to under 500 kb with the fine detail

Another image from the same morning as my Previous Post. I currently prefer the color version vs the BW as it appears more surreal, as it did when I viewed the scene.  More like a color tinted photograph.  The hint of green in the single tree brings reality back into the view.  This was in Pinkham Notch, NH.  A thin band of freezing fog frosted the trees with rime in a relatively low band - you can see the upper edge near the top of the image where the frosting ends.  I was a bit constrained in my comps, even at 400 mm as nearby trees could easily obstruct this view.  I would have like to place the tree a little more off center, without the need to crop this down.  Also a slightly wider view would have allowed more of the frosted trees, but unfortunately nearer branches would start intruding into the frame.
