Morning Frost

Nice crispness and overall depth of acceptable focus in what I think would be called a hoarfrost and I think that having the back planes distinctly out of focus sort of boosts ones reaction to the clarity in the front. I also like the color, and especially that one leaf that extends down to touch the bottom edge of the frame; which I think helps to bring the eye into the center sort of like a visual ladder

Wonderful detailed look at frost crystals as a result of your 5 exposures. Love the varying shades of red against the dark background accented by the coating of frost. Great lighting and comp. Nice shot, Michael!

Many thanks for your comments John and Carolyn.

This is wonderful Michel. The 5-image blend was very effective, and I also quite like the dark background which really helps to "pop" the frost crystals and red leaves.

Nice job on the stack and getting the plant against a dark background. The long frost crystals are great. I would like just a bit more space around the plant (left, right, and bottom), which if you're using Photoshop could be added by extending the canvas and adding more black.
