Very nice Joseph. Beautiful complimentary tones and the holes in the leaf give it extra punch. I'm sure it wasn't your intention, but for some strange reason, it reminds me a little of a treasure map parchment locked in the ice.

Great color and texture. I wouldn't mind having a *little* more ice on all sides. I feel as though the leaf needs a little more breathing room.

That used to be around my neck of the wood! I am really enjoying this Joe. Although I'm surprised you didn't post this in Macro/Close-up. I do agree with the suggestion to have a bit more room on the sides...just a bit. And I, too, love the blue/gold combo.

A superb image, Joseph. The interaction between the ice and the leaf has been brought forward in such a wonderful manner. I love this one a lot.
