For my personal taste the bw is a little flat, due to the grey versions of the subtle shades. Quite an unusual subject, I never seen a frozen flower before. They look almost like a cake decoration. I bet it would be spectacular if there was some specular lighting on the ice crystals. Or would that be almost literally gilding the lily?

The result is this.. The original digital shot: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/PeterDzwig/album83/album293/FrozenRose1200611.jpg.html The blue cast is in large part due to the fact that the flower was in deep shade. The B&W version of the same; which took quite a bit of manipulation: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/PeterDzwig/album83/album293/FrozenRose1B_amp_WV1200611.jpg.html ignore the exif date; it's wrong!
