Very nice pic. I really like the back lighting.

Is the leaf inside the ice or on it?

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Nice shot, Bill. I like the color a lot! If I may be permitted a little critique: I find the curved edge of the ice at the top and the bubble in the middle to be a distraction from your subject - the leaf. I'm not sure why you set it up that way, but it would be easy to clone texture from the large areas to spread it up to those areas. You'd have to be careful not to let that be obvious but it shouldn't be too hard. Anyway, that's my two cents for whatever it is worth.

All the best,

Endre

Thanks Yakim. The leaves are encased in ice.

Thanks Endre. I had much the same misgivings so I've made some changes. I was probably a little ambitious with this project.

Beautiful! Reminds me of a fossil in amber.

Cool, if you pardon the pun

Prefer it to the original, love the colour
