Hard to tell with some of this set - the frost was heavy enough to take away almost all of the colour in the landscape. Hope these appeal. Comments welcome, as always. K70 + DA 16-85

I like the colour ones more but the B&Ws have low contrast which doesn't help them any. If you bump the contrast and maybe try some simulated colour filters on them then I suspect they'll improve markedly.

Point taken, Jonathan - it’s something I should have seen earlier, but thanks for mentioning it.

Colour for me also, I think the bleak coldness is lost in the mono images
