Mark, I started to comment on this during voting when life got in the way. Never made it back.

You nailed the exposure and processing on this one. The gray tones in the snow and stick's shadow are spot on. Terrific photograph!

A weird composition, but it surely captures my eyes. B&W is simply perfect

I'm so glad it was you who took this image, and not me. Cold and beautiful. Nicely done. Beautifully composed.

Finally an image that actually benefits from the black and white treatment! Good composition and tones; I especially like the detail of the skyline in the far distance. My only two complaints are that there's a tiny bit of sharpening halo around the foreground branch and the edge of the leftmost tree's trunk, which I'd have cleaned up at the end, and that there's some dark haloing around that tree and some odd shadows in the sky halfway to the left edge too.
