Barbed Wire

In southern Colorado, when there is snow on the ground and the nights are below zero, a very fine, crystalline frost forms. On the night prior to taking this photo, the temp was -20F. Taken with an Olympus E-M1 and 60 mm macro lens hand held at 1/200, f/9 and ISO 200. Richard

Richard, I made a comment on this earlier today but now it's not here. I don't know, maybe I hit enter instead of clicking the Add button. Anyway, I like this very much. It is an interesting find and you did a nice job photographing it. I love the textures from that frost and also the blue tones. Only thing I can think of would be to have just a little more room at the bottom of the post along the right edge of the frame. Nice work!

Great eye to have seen this potential!
Love the ice crystals on the barbed wire, and the angled old fence bit..

A little blue conveys the cold well, but Just a little too blue, imo - you might reduce the blue channel a bit, and see what you think.
Nice image!
