This image of leaves trapped in ice are an interesting study of shape, form and color.

I like the sheeting of the ice. Are those air bubbles or speckled rock? Reminds me of pressed flowers.

This is really an interesting study of shape, form and color. An image for an art school.
I particularily like the icy background with all bubbles. Maybe I would have liked to see the leaves a little less colorful and without much of the glow on the edges. Never mind - this is great work, Michael !

Beautiful shot frozen literally as well as figuratively. You really have a gift at finding beauty where others would just step on it.

Very cool image. I really like all the air bubbles/specks of white on the ice. Looks like you captured some fallen Populus leaves, but from what species I am not sure! Great photo and well done.

Amazing. Absolutely no complaints. Just a bit of jealousy.

Very nice, my friend. Excellent contrast of warm and cool, and also between fall and winter.

This is a beautiful photograph that I think emphasizes how photography can improve something most of us have seen in person sometime in our lives. Straight to favorites, but more importantly for me.. on my desktop!

I wonder why I failed to comment because this image has been very frequently on my desktop since I saw it first time long ago. Also it has been a great inspiration for all the photographs I have been taking since August 2005 [when I got my first camera LOL].
In other words - Michael you have been one of my masters, but I must have told you about it before LOL 10/10 of course !

Lovely, I especially like the tiny bubbles: gives a sense of motion and volume to the background.
