Thanks all. Yes, oftentimes things melt too fast. This crazy winter storm has kept temps well below freezing here in GA for a long time though! The ice formed huge walls that looked more like the limestone walls of an ancient cave.
Bob, we'll find out how good I am with getting that tonality/pop once I print it. I've got a stack of negatives waiting to be printed, but extreme cold in my darkroom is preventing me from doing that at the moment! I am wondering though - what do you think of "digital" silver printing, such as from DSI? I spoke to them at a trade show last year and their prints were impressive. Most of it was digital images but I have been thinking that for some negatives it could be a good alternative depending on the situation. Some negatives need more post-processing to "get there" and while I can do lots in Photoshop, I'm still learning the ins-and-outs of DR work.
With that image, and some other ones, I would like to try lith printing to push the contrast up, if I'm understanding the process/reasoning for lith printing.

This composition is exceptional and the tones are much more "optimistic" than your general style. Finding and photographing scenes in the Palouse that draw the eye in like this is a big challenge. I hope you do more with this tonal range. (I apologize if I have offended you by offering my opinion.)
Same subject but having a little fun with visualization.
