Very cool. Might make a nice valentine's card! Have you decided how you like the S3?

A lovely photo Mike!
IMHO the only improvement would have been a slightly less tight composition.

Hey Alice, so far the S3 does a much better job on images with alot of contrast in light and dark area. I had a hard time shooting images like this one with the S2. The S3 shows a truer white than the S2 which has a yellow cast in the image. The S3 holds more details in the ice around the leaf than the S2.

Mike,
This is such a cool image, congrats on the EP !
(The caption on the valentine card would read "you melted my heart"..)
Seriously, another example of the wonderful eye you have on this subject :toast:
