Conserving Fall Beauty

Hello,

Two weeks ago i went to Estrela NP to do some winter and snow images. After a beautiful sunrise i focused on the ground and ice for hours. This one caught my eye.

Fall leaves under a thick, texturized, layer of ice.

Interesting symmetry here. I thought it might be two images from the thumbnail! Love the textures. I might consider a tad more blue to intensify the color contrasts.....maybe.

Very interesting find Paulo! I love such images. My only small nit is the vertical stem that divides the image 50/50. But the textures and the interesting composition compensates.

I like the symmetry as well as the textures from the ice. Not an image killer, but for me the flow from right to left and back again is slightly disrupted by the stem which divides the frame through the center.

Just gorgeous Paulo!! I do wish the stick that divides it wasn't there but what can you do? Minor detail.

Love shots like this!

Superb intimate, Paulo! Very hard to find such symmetry in the wild, so kudos for that.
