Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted November 5, 2016130 views8 comments
We had some light frost this morning just in time for this week's challenge, so I headed to the local gardens and shot this. D600, 150 f2.8 macro @ f25, iso 200, tripod. Suggestions and other comments welcome.

Really like that almost luminous quality to the frost. Great framing; all the leaves are perfectly placed. Too bad the some had melted off that top middle section though.

A lovely array, Scott. Some of the frost lines along the edges look a little bit bright-you might bring down the highlights a trifle.

Another lovely arrangement of frosty leaves, Scott. The emphasis on shapes looks great with the clear area near the top adding some extra interest. The touch of blue in the frost adds to the chilly feel, but also has me wondering how a slightly warmer version would look.

Dennis, good suggestion. I processed this too quickly to get it in under the WC wire.
Mark, I did play with the colors, specifically with reducing the blue/cyan, but I decided I better liked the variety. However, looking at this again. I'll probably reduce the cyan cast which resulted from taking this in shade.

The repost does a fine job of combining chilly and inviting, Scott.
