I am always moved by images that manage to extract beauty out of distress - this is a great example of that, very beautifully done, with perfect light for the occasion!

This view offers a fine "painterly" palette of muted colors, Scott. Pulling a visually satisfying comp. out of business like this is hard and you've done very well. The frost makes a great added bonus.

Scott, this has a real watercolor effect to it in my eye. The lightly faded colors are really nice with the touch of frost. This is art in my book.

Hi Scott

The patterns of frost on the petal edges, along with the enchanting light and pastel colors, make this a magical presentation

I really like this Scott and as others have noted the frost makes the image. A perfect depiction of the Weekly Challenge deriving beauty from a scene most wouldn't glance twice at.

Great title, short & sweet always works best..
A most apropos seasonal offering with its greens & reds, let's 'fill the halls'
Or frame in this case

Well done, I've enjoyed viewing your work this past year Scott
