I was scrolling through Fanart looking for a picture for a story, and this picture caught my eye! I just wanted to stop by and say what a fantastic idea you have presented here! Well done!

Clever! A pretty sharp looking photo,it does indeed look as though everything has a light dusting of snow. Very well taken,excellent focus and dof,extremely informative and interesting artists notes. A unique image for the contest,I wish you all the best!

A beautiful idea for this contest - I never saw palm trees in Black and white with this handsome snow effect -it looks like a ghost forest or angel fairy forest
very nice view point leading into two directions which gives the picture deepness and enough space to enjoy the details - I love specially the cotton kind like effect on the bigger trees
clear and sharp in details - genuine contrast and great lighting - I think this is a perfect shot and special in technical application, well done, best of luck

Like many infrared images this one has a haunting beauty that is hard to define. I like the tonality and the excellent subject matter and fine composition. Good luck in the contest.

It does look like a snow blizzard has blown though here. Its very interesting what you can get with an IR Filter or converted camera to IR. Good lighting, sharp focus, good DoF, and well balanced photo and nicely composed in the frame. Overall, a very Beautiful IR Landscape Photograph, well done!

Infrared can be so very cool and has to work with just the right shot to the magic happen. Well, this is the right shot and the magic of snow in the tropics has been achieved with perfection. Very well done!

I always love your text. I learn something each and every time. As to the photograph, beautiful black and white contrasts that seemingly gives a fresh look that makes the viewer breath more deeply. Very nice to spark an emotion and an internal reaction in the viewer (me). Reasons for my five star vote.

A creative way of entering this black & white contest. Indeed it does look Iike snow in this conversion.
It is an attractive scene with the Palm trees at different heights amongst the lovely cloudy back drop. Your image is clear and crisp with effective lighting. Well done and all the best in the contest!
