Wow, usually with fog there is little wind, but this looks like breezes blew the forming crystals to the side ... or else the photo may be rotated.

@Judy: Pretty sharp, Judy. Yes, rotated. thanks.

Brrr, looks cold! Looks like a very old photograph too, I like the vignette effect that absolutely makes sense here.

Extraordinary image.... it looks like a giant eyeball, complete with veins. But seriously, this is a very special shot, superb.

@Observing: Many thanks, Mike. My daughter thought it looked like a specimen in a microscope.

Like the vignette and the layers, twig/sprig detail plus the tree, a giant version in ghostly form behind. Well seen

Intriguing light and textures. Seems to have a nostalgic feel to it.
