Robert Baillie, Ethereal Frost (May theme: Seasons)

This scene was one that I thought would work well as a black and white as the colours had been muted and dulled due to the heavy fog and frost. The longer focal length helped separate and blur the background and I deliberately chose not to sharpen the image as I thought the softness added to the mood.
