I shot that after last year's ice storm using an old camera.
I tried to get this image as good as possible, cropping and then using a neg mask (Dodge only) on top to bring out the contrast in it.
The top are tree branches, even though they are all covered by Ivy, and the birght section at the top is quite distracting. I'll work a bit more on it and will post an updated version pretty soon.
Thanks again and happy new year to all

Not many reviews this week, I know you're all busy, so here's my thoughts on this week's image:
Pablo Coronel - Frozen vines I would have preferred only the frozen branches, the dark area at the bottom seems a bit heavy. A difficult subject this. As well, the dynamic range seems a bit high, there are no real blacks. Now as to the vines - the top bits seem to be tree branches, are those vines in the dark area at the bottom?
Randy Flory wrote This is an image I want to like, but I just can't quite make it. The black-and-white is a good choice. The subject is interesting. The composition of the branches is striking. But the window in the upper left quadrant which tries to blend into the ice on the branches takes away from what otherwise would be a most excellent image for me.

Pablo Coronel - Frozen vines
Interesting in that it was after an Ice Storm. We don't have these here.
But the weather man says that in the next generation these might be common.
