Icicle Teeth by olivetreeann

Icicle Teeth

My original intent for this shot was to convert it to black and white for the book club. But it lost the dof (shallow as it is) when it was completely black and white. However in the completely color version, the icicles disappeared into the grill. In the end, I chose to convert to black and white, but to paint back in color the icicles and the red of the car. It gave me the definition I was looking for.
Clever, it works well!

@kporte Thanks Keith! I just keep working at it until I like what I see.
@rangerxenos Thank you Dawn! It definitely needed the red.
@luvmynynix Thank you Laurie! Like I told Keith, I just keep fiddling with the picture until I like what I see.

Thank you Rick, Timothy, and Sally! As with a lot of wintery things- they were here today and gone tomorrow. Glad I took the shot when I did!
