Bleak and desolate...

In the winter woods. Shot in black and white - no conversion.

Very much like an ICM, only it isn't one. Really nice shot

@monikozi Thank you, Monica.

[Bucktree]

Great b&w. This image makes me want to stare into the woods looking for something that is hiding.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Lovely B&W shot.

[Walks @ 7]

There is a downy softness of this bleakness.

[Phil Howcroft]

in the bleak mid winter one could say

[Susan Wakely]

Great B&W showing this dormant area that will spring into life as the seasons change.

[haskar]

Great b&w capture. This place is full of life, only we can't see it.

[Krista Marson]

good way to start the year in the trees!

[Shutterbug]

Does look bleak and desolate, but don’t you find that when you are there it seems more calm and peaceful?

[Corinne C]

And all these trees it's almost like a rhythm in the woods, not so desolate.

@koalagardens Thank you so much. Interesting though... How is that possible when in b&w mode and I see b&w through the view finder?
