Tropical Ice

Here's another view from late December of ice on my pond with a hardy water lily as the background under the ice. The title comes because the split in the leaf (coming in from the llc) has me thinking of a palm tree leaning over a tropical beach where the bright yellow is the sun and it's radiating lots of warm colors. (Maybe that's dreaming of spring, given the recent run of cold and nasty weather.) (5D3, 100mm macro L, f/16, 0.8s, iso 200, tripod and cable release. A 5 shot stack to insure edge sharpness.)
