Things are tough in Michigan. Finally got out today as the snow went down three feet with the thaw last week and now can walk on a crust to get to places and not sinking to my waist in snow. Was looking for a snow owl and saw this. Did find the owl on a TV antenna so hope to find her in a better perch tomorrow

Great conversion. i like the comp but would crop up to the lines running horizontally. There is also a tiny dust spot 1/2 up the sky, far right. Wonderful scene though.

Great composition Dennis and with Paul's suggested crop you have a real winner.

Excellent B&W work here. Richly detailed with great tonal range.
