Hi Mitch

Great image. Some might be turned off by the black spots but I think it adds a storyline to the image. Excellent mix of colors and the frost is truly "icing" on the cake.

This style of photo is not as easy as some images make it look. This one looks great except for the bright red/orange stem. Well, it still looks great.

Great find, I love the contrast between the green leaves and the background, especially with the frost lining. Great image Mitch!

A nice capture, Mitch. You're very observant and have a good eye.

Very nice scene. The frost adds a nice touch. Two minor things. Intense red stem just above left frosted leaf catches my eye a bit. Easy to tone down a bit. And compositionally, I'm wondering if it would have helped to shift left to include the larger green leaf. Regardless, very enjoyable image.

Great detail and color, the frost is "frosting on the cake"....sorry, couldn't resist.

Would it have been possible to include the entire larger green leaf that's running off the left edge?

Well done!

Beautiful image Mitch. The detail of the leaves and the frost....superb. I too would tone down that red stem that others mentioned and might crop a bit (very little) off the right hand side; all just to emphasize those frosty leaves. Nice work.

Very nice intimate leaf shot. Love the frost, love the colors, even love the black rot on the leaves!

I love the background colors.. the oranges and purples, as well as the textures they create. The frosted leaves are a nice bonus! Now that I've written that, I also like the tension of what is the subject --- the frosted leaves or the background? Or both? They seem to switch as I look. I like it.
