Had a few errands to run this morning, it was quite cold and frosty.
1 & 2. Last time I was here it was filled with buttercups.
3. A slightly frozen canal.
4 & 5. I bet you`re warmer than I am.
6 & 7. The River Ribble.
8. Hey Mr Moon, isn`t it time you were in bed?
9. The view from Read, yes that is a steaming pile of smelly stuff.

Beautiful pics. I can just feel the cold crisp air. Pity about the dates of the Comp. There are some stunners here!

1. Took his by accident, was snapping down the lane and had nudged the camera to take monochrome without knowing, I thought the camera is taking some moody shots, I had done about 5 before it clicked.(see what I did there)
2. I had to search out the shaded bits for frost.
3. I do like this tree, it has a story of survival in harsh conditions, and wind from one direction.
4. Frosted Fungi, sounds a bit like a breakfast cereal.
5. The low sun brings out the browns, you can just see the frost in the far dip.
6. The frost had gone and left behind droplets.
7. This is the frosty bit that turns into droplets.
8. The water was dead calm, not a ripple and was only disturbed by the occasional Grebe.
9. I like a tree with a bit of architectural structure.
10. From the bottom of the reservoir, you can still see the frost in the distance, but none remains around the wet bit or the woody bit that goes uphill.

I had some ideas for the comp, some pics taken reflected on purpose in things like spoons,windows etc. but just got the finish date wrong and uploaded what I already had.:o

Gorgeous - there are some 'gaspers' in this group for sure. Hubby is downstairs wondering what all the fuss is about Hah hah). Seriously, wonderful photos. I think No.1 is enhanced by the monochrome setting. It adds to the mood, and the focus is so sharp, it cuts your eye. The fungi in 4. look like they're encrusted in coconut like little bon bons!

Dave there are some of those pics which are in colour, but would convert to monochrome on photoscape.... Number 7 would ( I think) be stunning in mono...number 8 too.
I would continue shooting in colour and convert them to mono on photoscape....that way you have two pictures with different artistic merits.

It was more the accidentally putting the setting on monochrome and me taking a few shots before I noticed what I had done, even then it didn't have any impact until I put it on the computer, I just thought the camera was taking moody shots. I did retake the shots when I noticed what I had done, the colour shots didn't have the same impact.
