Apple orchards in the winter would make great Grimm fairy tale illustrations. Their branches seem to twist and reach out towards each other in rather grotesque contortions. This image has always intrigued me and finally I found a home for it in this challenge: duotones mean that the interest should be in shapes and tones rather than color.

Wow - this is almost ~literally~ duotone... and I mean like having exactly two colors. Well, maybe three, if we could do with a median gray for the sky but otherwise it feels like a pure black and a pure white image. Having said that, it's a little over the top for me :)

Sorry for the 3, but where is the fire?.
You should have used red/pink tones.

Interesting how the clouds seem to fall directly behind the branches.

Nice insight and contrast. The composition is a little too busy, and the light a bit too bright towards the lower center of the frame.

before i even read the title the 1st think i though of was the thorn bush that the prince had to cut though in sleeping beauty to fight the dragon. Excellent name. Technically sqpeaking though The over exposed section in the center is too much for me
