I like the colors in this image, it has a holiday look to it. Do wish there was just a bit more detail in the frost. Thanks for sharing.

Sandy, I agree with John's comment, has a real holiday theme going on here. Great look for a holiday card too. Wonderful capture. :cool:

I like the downward comp of this gently curving branch and the thick hoar frost adds lots of interesting texture to the edges of the green leaves. But what makes this image special and gives it that Christmasy feel are those contrasting red stems. Nice find, Sandy! If this were mine, I think I would darken the background some to help highlight the main subject. IMO a total black background would make a great Christmas card! :smile:

The touch of red in the stem makes this a lovely Christmas card possibility. I happen to like the real background, for me it creates more of an "outdoorsy" feeling.
