Remember in the fifties when they used a shine colored lights on metal Christmas trees for contrast... My grandparents had one of these trees.

This is one of the best pictures I have ever seen you take! You should sell this one to a stock photo site.

The light you captured is superb.  Far more dramatic than it would have been in color.  Amazing!

Beautiful picture.  It should be in a magazine!  The contrast is excellent.

This looks like it is more than just a black and white photo, what other ediring was involved Steve?

Unbelievable! Took me back to my days of youth! Although, back then you would have never captured the piercing background lighting with your degree of clarity. Thanks!

Tom,

None. It is a white tree, and I chose a section that had the ornaments I wanted. :)

Wayne,

True, digital is great - never going back to film - although we had some really slow speeds that would give good detail. :)

Steve,  Great photo -- this looks like one you should enter in a contest.  Of course, I have always been a fan of B&W photos.  Have a great week.
