Mark,
The image is to busy for me, making it hard to see what the image actually is. I like the black and white finish is good, however it doesnt take a lot of imagination tosee the image as tree roots in snow. Just MHO though.
Your right in what you say about the drought though, been as dry as buggery down here, the father in law is likely to lose a lot of stock over winter due to the extreme cold and poor condition.

SE QLD seems to be getting plenty of rain though, perhaps you could spare some?
