Glad you entered it, it's a great shot and very contrasty.

That's a bit special and would look great on a wall.

Me too. This is lovely. And it's a rare example of a frame adding to a shot rather than distracting. Great entry.

Thanks for all your comments, yes I really like this shot and processed it hard to get the contrast. Saturday was a bit of a weird day. Went out with my little boy to take some pics and really could not get into it at all, probably because I was so bl--dy cold. Saw this interesting tree and thought Hmmm I like that and the rest as they say is history.

Cheers for all the encouraging comments

very, very nice - and I totally agree about the border too, it adds a lot of punch...

[iandrews]

Like the other frosty tree, very, very nice Almost infrared looking.
