Great color and detail Michael but I really like the frosty outline on the leaves.

Michael,

A very pleasing group of leaves rimmed with frost. Very nicely done.

Excellence!!! I would suggest burning that small hot spot in the bottom left. Joe.

Definite winner, Michael. Those blue leaves are the prettiest yet this fall.

I like this a lot Michael. A great combination of colors and textures, and the frost is a wonderful added element.

I have wanted to find a shot like this for a quite a while but haven't found one yet. This is great. The spackling of frost is really cool. I actually like the few little bits of direct sun light in a few different areas around the image. No nits from me.

This is a great one Michael. Great how the snow crystals spice up the already super solid comp. Colors are great too. Maybe the grass shining through is not perfect, or if it is used as a composition element then maybe a different way of doing it makes it seem less accidental and intruding, but that's a minor nit.
