Winter, cold, desolate and lonely.

you got some sweet grain going on,
my favourite shot of the batch are nr 03, simple and nice.
04 are also "up there", the branches bottom left bothers a bit, i would maby clone them out.
you round things off nicely with the melon = )

Yeah, I'm a huge proponent of grain and b/w photographs. I know what you mean about the branches bothers a bit, still cloning them out would be aching a bit too close to manipulating the actual contents. I don't like doing that too much. While these shots have been rather strongly manipulated as a picture the details have been kept like they are.

Here are some older shots from this fall, whereas the ones at the start of the thread were shoton a dSLR in color and converted to b/w the following ones were shot on a film SLR on b/w film, developed and copied in a lab at school. There's no measurement on how fun that was to do.
