Description

Again an image from my "icy crust" series. It's from the same location I took icy crust #2 so actually it has the same soft green background. This time I've changed the shot in B/W... does it work better? What do you think? tfv&c Thanks for your kind comments, rankings and even votes on my previous posting Lil clown I really appreciate all of them very much! Thanks also from my son... you've made his day! :o) Hugz Monika -----www.rowografics.de----- -----www.photo-genesis.net----- -----www.mahltied.com-----

nope...don't care for B&W. lol you'd better know i'm teasin' you girl! ;-) this is beautiful. i love the stark contrasts one can achieve with B&W. it brings out so much more under the right conditions than does color. VOTE

Actually I like both versions. They each give a different mood. This one is lovely.

Very crusty! They look so fragile. The B&W does work better.

I think they both have their own charm - and make me shiver and want to turn the heater up...

It is a wonderful composition dof and the back lighting is great but as an ice picture I prefer colour. Don't take any notice of me though because I see most people like the b/w :)
