    What's wrong with being "artsy"? Is this not a "Fine Art Photography Forum"??

    This shot looks nice in B&W but I think it might look even better in a nice sepia. Give it an "old world" flavour.

    nothing wrong with it at all. I just meant that I wasn't going for the drama but that seemed to be the only way to save the shot I'll try the sepia too.

    i like the B&W treatment, but there are some blown spots in the sky you might want to tone down just a bit... otherwise, a nice composition that captures the feel of winter quite well.
