Winter by the Creek

I walked down  to the creek behind the house.  The Christmas snow had transformed the place into a winter wonderland.  I decided to try shooting black and white, however, the overcast day did not lend itself to much contrast, but did provide a lot of diffuse light.  Here I did like the white snow shapes on the tree branches, against the "black ice" of the creek below, which had black and white designs encapsulated in the frozen water.
