Default Christmas Day in Missouri

It was cold and windy Christmas Day in Missouri...but I'm glad I got out and traveled the gravel roads and found these pictures just waiting for me.

I'm really impressed by the way you get such drama in black and white. Good eye.

I love the dramatic black and white.....especially the last one with a tree. Awesome set and yes it looks very cold.

With this awesome set, I bet you had a great (and cold) vacation. I agree with the post above, I liked how you played with b/w processing as it really added interest in your photos. Good job!

Cheers!

Super shots!! I'm a b/w fanatic. The first is amazing...the way you caught the drifting snow across the ground, and I gotta say that tree is fantastic. It looks to have the same shape as my Bavarian Tree shot. Excellent work!! Welcome to DPS. I'm looking forward to many more!! TFS

Very dramatic and beautiful...but incredibly cold looking. The last shot is my favorite because....it has a tree and is a gorgeous shot.

Beautiful set, they are all very good in composition and bw is contrasted and dramatic.
Very, very good.
