Winter's First Freeze

Thanks for looking.

Nice shot!

Love the idea conveyed here, the fall leaf and first winter. Composition with diagnol lines is effective. The shimmer of the light in left upper is distracting. Consider cropping it out completely Leaving only the far icy edge. Regards ifti

Beautiful detail and color. Brrrr, looks cold.

Thank you all for commenting. I appreciate it.

 

 

 

Iftikhar,

Thanks for the advice. That sounds like a good idea and I will try it. I took several shots of this lonely little leaf that lingered on. I rather liked the way the light lit up the ice, but I am always interested in the ideas and suggestions of other members. There is nothing like a second opinion, and nothing that can't be improved. Best wishes.

I don't think we've even had it this cold yet Linda........but the shot sure makes me feel cold!!! nicely done!

Buenas texturas, con gran detalle. Saludos.

Linda,

This is a beautiful capture. It is amazing when lakes freeze. Great work. Regards, Patsy

Excellent work, very well exposed.

Thank you all for commenting. I appreciate your encouraging remarks.

 

This ice was very thin. It wasn't bitter cold, but there was a strong wind that gave the ice the texture. It is starting to feel like winter.

 

 

Beautiful work, very nicely composed, too, Linda!

beautiful winter shot...congrats

Well composed and I really like the various shades of blue in the ice.....Regards Elaine

A beautifully composed icy image of cold blues. Best regards.

Many people would have missed this potential shot, but not you, light, colouring and placement first class.....Regards

Thank you all for kind and generous comments. I appreciate your interest and encouragement so much. All the best. Linda

Nice. The lone leaf amid the quiet of the ice and frost, textural. There's a warmth even to the cool colors. I like the way the highlighting balances the leaf and I like the diagonal running through the frame. Interesting the way the cast moves from magenta in the shadows of the lower right to blue as we go up and out from there.

A beautiful image, a little lonely, I love how simple this composition is, but also quite powerful.
