This is a super clear and interesting photograph of the frost clinging to the twisted branches. The branches are framed in a pleasing abstract and full of clear details. The faded dark background lets you focus on the subject. Nice work.

I like this one Grace. I have taken back lit frost on various things and this one so well done. The focus is pin point sharp and the details or wonderful. Nice job with placement / entering the scene from the lower left, proceeding diagonally and ending short of the corner. That adds a nice bit of drama. Good work here Grace ~ Steve

I love exquisite yet simple photos such as these. This is the kind of thing most individuals do not even see nor have time to look for it.....the most t yet something that will only last a very short time. I fell in love with your shot here. It has all the bells and whistles making it A NUMBER 1 in any body's book. I understand about the Frost and how its vapor is what makes it become a solid, but I had no idea about the grains and if they grow larger that they are called Hoarfrost. I never even heard the word before. And that is it also known as Radiation Frost. That to me sounds a little scary, if you know what I mean. They do look exactly like little leaves in the trees. I love the angle of your shot and the blurred background and how vivid it looks. SUPERB photo. Thanks so much for sharing.

What a great closeup shot.
You sure accentuated the frost with the black bg.

You focus is spot on to show the crystals of the hoarfrost.

When a whole landscape is covered with hoarfrost it is amazing to see. Shoot quick as the sun does a number on it!

Grace,
A beautiful picture of the hoar frost clinging to the Leaves of the Bull Rushes glistening in the light set against a dark background. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Beautiful photo! It shows the great complexity of nature in a way that a lot of people won't ever see in the bustle of everyday life. Nicely focused, framed and contrastes!

This is always cool to see.
Reminds me of those crystal science experiments.
I just hate when I have to clean it off of he car windows for mom.
Subject matter is clear with muted background.
Nice shot, thank you for sharing.

Oh wow! Presentation and visual impact are creative and impressive! Beautiful clear focus. Such wonderful clarity that I can see every detail of the ice crystals. This is fantastic, Grace!

    Thank you! It was such a beautiful sight that didn't last long. I was surprised at how quickly it changed once the sunlight filtered in on the plants.
