Frost and ice.

Great frost image, Charlie. I like how the leaf is resting on top of the ice but what I especially like are the long crystals of frost that are coating the leaf edges. The leaf has nice varying shades of color which stand out well against the neutral color of the ice. Nice lighting in this too. Ideally I would wish all of the leaf was in clear focus but also fine as is. Perfect for the theme. :smile:

Cool image, Charlie. The hoar frost is extraordinary and the leaf stands out well from the background. A simple but striking image.

A striking look at a frosty leaf, Charlie. The long frost fingers are great and you've got good colors in the leaf as well. I'm also fascinated by the rippled reflection, was there a mix of ice and open water or were the ripples frozen into the ice.

This was last fall, Mark, but I recall it as all ice, though very thin.

I like the colors and subtle reflection on the ripply ice, but especially the crystals combined with the leaf color.

Very nice, Charlie! I particularly like the direct lighting on the leaf. It accentuates the frost and adds to the 3-D effect.
