Hi,
Made this image about 200 metres away from my residence at a semi-frozen pond.
A layer/crest of ice on top of the water which was gradually melting formed lovely patterns. The dry/wilted 'post-autumn' leaves which lie beneath this crest, summed up a beautiful combination of subtle colours under the diffracted rays of sunlight.

Have been seeing Mike Moats' interesting macros & wanted to experiment on similar lines. This ofcourse is no match to his scores of images...
Nikon D70s + Nikkor 105mm VR micro.
f13, 1/60, ISO200, @105mm + tripod for support.
Worked on curves, a wee bit of saturation/sharpness + some burning.
Was wondering if I should saturate it a bit more...?
Crtiques welcome. Suggestions to improve the image would be much appreciated.
