To try something new I shot this small branch with some snow on it. Following the method suggested by Dalantech I kept the small branch with a hand against a dark background and shot handheld. This was the result. What could I have done better in your opinion (D610, Sigma 105 Macro, 1/250 sec. @ f/11, ISO 1250)?

Nice work. It is so close to a true diagonal that I would make it so by cropping the right side slightly.

If you could contrive to have, say, dark blue as a background that may be more effective.

Thanks to both. Regarding background with color I would have to bring something with me and get help to keep everything hand held ;-) I kept the branch with one hand while shooting with the others. I could bring some coloured paper and hold it against it.
Looking at it I agree with e6filmuser. Blue would probably be better (it would remind of ice)... Now the challenge is to find again such a small branch. Is warm again. All snow is gone :-)

Cheers to everyone,
Umberto
