Snowed-in!

An inspiring image.

Love the tonal qualities you accomplished through this BW conversion, Laurent. I'm not sure about using the warming sepia finish on this snowy scene, but the crispness of detail is excellent throughout.

I like this version better than the coloured one, Laurent.The dark sky contrasts well with the snow. The composition is very good as the fence line leads you to the imposing church with its steeple.  John

Thank you so much! Hope you had a nice Christmas and are enjoying the Holidays.

Thank you for looking in,for the appreciation and the observation on the tint.I tried this in straight B/W and merged toward sepia which somehow gave the snow a little more definition and I liked the antique feeling it projected sort of the same vintage as the church.

Thank you kindly.One of the reasons I went B/W on this one was mainly to attenuate the banding created in the clear sky by the polarizer-WA lense combination but also to give more emphasis to the snow bank in the foreground.Glad you like the result.
