Shot this outside of an art gallery I was delivering some prints too. It was late November and I was shocked to see anything still alive and full of color like this. I went home got my camera and came back and got a few images. The two drops of water are solid ice.

Oh Mike, this is gorgeous! Love the colors and the texture in this plant - and the ice drops take it over the top.

Mike, I like it too. The colors are very nice as are the ruffled edges. I would never of guessed the drops were frozen solid-they look so clear.

What a lovely looking plant, with excellent detail, great texture and love those veins on the leaves.

Well done Mike!

Excellent composition. Excellent color. Excellent texture. Excellent detail. Beautiful image. Only question is whether you could have pulled any detail out of those dark shadows. Still no question - a home run.

Hey Ed, I could probably pull more out of this image but its not a image I'm looking to sell so I do a simple process and let it go as is. Thanks.

Hi Mike, I really like the texture and color and the ice is a nice added element.

Leave it to you Mike to see this as an image in your minds eye. Have a beer!
