A few weeks ago we had a rough cold snap that damaged our Bird of Paradise and provided the material for my Frostbite series. We had an even more severe freeze a week ago that involved icing and we were unable to protect the plants the way we wanted. This leaf reminded me of a frayed feather. Hoping our cold weather is behind us and that our BoP will ultimately recover. All comments welcome, please view LARGE.>=))>

Super detail. Good catalog of fine textures and hues. I like the strong diagonals.

Bill, I like the colors and the movement of the cells in the leaf, it does look like a feather. Nice image of the frost and damage leaf making a very interesting picture.

Nice flowing lines and composition, Bill. The green color is a nice touch.

Yes Bill the large view looks like a feather. Is it possible that lowering the white and the light the colors become more vivid? An experiment.
