Yes, the lost leaves embedded in the ice are a big attraction for me. There will be more of them in my ice series.Charles Haacker wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2018 7:35 pmI am following this series with great interest. I love all of them! But indeed the key element is that deeply etched nearly black ice, and I just went back and reread each post, looked carefully at each picture, and I can't see where anyone has remarked on the earlier fallen red geisha leaves now under the ice but still shining forth. They contribute a violet hue where they come through, blending with the startling reflected-sky-blue of the ice. I'm only remarking on them because I think they are an important part of the overall picture but no one else seems to have noticed, at least not mentioned.![]()

My reaction: pixie hat, not a perfect leaf, so leave the leaf as is. No effort at a silk purse. The ice is too dark for meminniev wrote: ↑Sun Jan 07, 2018 7:03 pmThis single red leaf was all that was left of the Shy Tree's flamboyant foliage, and it got caught in an interesting ice formation so I had to try with it. I'm not satisfied, so if you have ideas, please share or show an edit. Maybe a crop from the bottom? I dunno.

I love this, and please keep the leaf as-is, but the moment I saw this I knew I loved it but wondered if it needed more.

Thank you for jazzing up the crinkled little “found” leaf. She look more impressive.St3v3M wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 6:25 amI love this, and please keep the leaf as-is, but the moment I saw this I knew I loved it but wondered if it needed more.
