So you had it tough hey !! A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss....Happy new year everybody. :o)
I can't get the photo to open full screen but what I see really looks good. I like the frame and the subject matter. You have a unique eye and talent to follow through. Good post Gerry and have a Happy New Year.
I got it to open full screen, but it was slow for some reason???? It's a very good, artistic arrangement of those frosty leaves. Great close up. Happy New Year to my friend across the lake.

"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
It looks like a painting! This is on my desktop for right now, very well done! I love the frosted edges, simple and elegant, a one of a kind shot! Please take more, and a Happy New Year!!
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

How beautiful! So delicate and fresh looking. I love shots like this, and you captured it perfectly. What I really like about this photo is the bit of wood showing so nicely. IT just enhances the colour of the leaves. It's a gorgeous photo.Verena
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
