The temperatures in Dallas went from 79 to 28 overnight. This Maple leaf was frozen upright with trace snow and sleet/rain.

Shall I say cooler than cool
I really like how you worked this, excellent low POV & defocused BG.
Great comp with 2/3 icy bottom, 1/3 veg upper Rick..
Light, color, details right on the mark as well

I agree with Howard's observations, Rick. Love the low perspective and the way you captured the bg to go with the subject caught in the snow/ice. Creativity + excellent technique to capture the unusual conditions.

Really nice POV. I heard Dallas is getting hit with a lot of ice on the power lines....hope you keep your power! Good luck....we are not supposed to get nearly as cold as you are.
