Block of ice with dead leaves

A spectacular photo I used to illustrate my FanStory haiku "skittering leaves flee." The chilling effect of leaves photographed in a block of ice is original and creative. Reviewers gave high praise for your work. Thank you for sharing your considerable talent.

I was browsing your portfolio and this attracted my attention.
I can see the ghosted girl in the ice. I can also see another abstract face in the ice where the top leaf looks like a hat, the leaves under it represent they eyes and the dark shadow beside the ghosted girl looks like the shape of a mouth to me. A very interesting work of art.

I had to look for a minute but I do see the girl. I love the lighting. The storytelling is definitely there. The branch is a bit distracting, but not enough to mark down. Good eye and good job.

This is clever! I like this one much better then the last. I guess its because of the lighting. The details and texture within the ice seem to be more pronounced then in your other image. The light fans outwards to the outer edges rather nicely. The branch and the leaves wrap nicely around the light in the center, and points straight to your ice princess.

Annie you are creative, and I always look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Have a splendid day!

ok Annie...this is right up my alley. lol I love the abstract look to this little scene. I can see why you stopped. You saw the beauty in its simplicity. Interesting to see the leaves and branches trapped within the ice. I love the look of the light on the ice as if it too is trapped. Your eyes travel about seeing the different textures and designs. Very cool and I enjoyed viewing it. Annie

Very interesting shot and can see your little girl clearly, as if she making a wish into the circle of water. Great lighting and reflections in this shot. Like how the branch lies on the edge of the circle drawing your eye to the girl. Good shot.

My friend, I share your vision of the girl and it certainly is ethereal. I love the cold of the ice as you've underlit it with the warm light. The leaves provide some nice curves and textures. Thanks for sharing Cyn
