It's Crunch Time

The ice made a satisfying crunching noise as I walked down the road with my spikes on. Almost everything was encrusted by a layer of ice. It sparkled a bit on the bark of this fallen tree, even though the day was overcast.

I photographed the tree looking down its length with a shallow depth of field to give it a bit of 'other worldly' feel to it. I left the twig in the corner as a counterpoint to the overall pattern of the bark. I'm not sure about it now. But, maybe it needs that touch of reality.
