There were several ice coated leaves still hanging on the tree but the trick was to find one with a dark background in good light. Found this one with the trunk in the shade behind it.
D200
70-180 micro Nikkor @ 70mm
1/30 sec @ f11
ISO 100

C&Cs welcome

Nice find! Like the color of the ice contrasting with the brown monotone. The dark BG really makes the leaf pops. Well done :toast:

Nice isolation against that ink black BG. Nice light as well, Russell. :smile:
