Composition is perfect, depth-of-field is perfect, black and white helps the viewer focus on the frost and metal tones, and you were ready when it counted.
I think I'm going to have to post a link on the mountain bike site. I know those guys will appreciate this photo.
Thanks for taking it and thanks for sharing it!

I think the depth-of-field is great. Maybe it's best you didn't have your tripod. I like how the background is nice and soft. I wouldn't want more detail that would compete with the chain and cog.

Larry, you already know my feelings on this one I love it I love it I love it. And, I agree with Photo John that you were lucky to not have had your tripod that morning as more DOF would have ruined the shot imo.Walter Rick Long Nikon Samurai, Mamiya Master, Velvia Bandit
This reminds me of a fence post I caught with frost that I posted here. I took the shot, went home, downloaded it, and wasn't satisfied. I ran back, took another shot and the frost had changed character dramatically. You caught this at the perfect moment!

Thanks for the kind words Marv. You see a lot of things out in the field that you think have potential, but so many times when you are back in the "darkroom" things just aren't the way you had hoped. this one just seemed to click.Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
