Pixim from Nice, France

Superbe, tu as réussi à retrouver cette mâchoire métallique qui déchiquète tout ce qui traine autour d'elle. Pauvre feuille, non contente de perdre à l'automne toute la sève de sa mère nourricière, l'hiver est le coup de grâce, le froid lui enlève le peu d'eau qui lui restait. Dans tous les cas un beau coup d'oeil ;)

1 Dec 2008 6:27pm

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

Merci beaucoup Pixim, ... tres impressionant ce commentaire ;)

1 Dec 2008 6:31pm

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

Ooooohh, it sure gets cold down your way. Those leaves look to have shriveled up in response. Time to get out the winter woolies I think.

1 Dec 2008 8:49pm

@Richard_Irwin: I think so too, big woolies ;) Thanks a lot Richard!

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom

Beautiful dof in this one Lorraine and the detail of the ice crystals on the leaf are superb!
Wrap up warm, i hear it's mighty cold where you are, mind you the last two nights here have been -3 brrrr!

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

Definitely a picture of a frosty leaf ... I hope you were able to take this lovely shot through your window!

1 Dec 2008 10:48pm

@Judy: Well Judy, first I saw it through the window and I thought wow, but I was in a hurry, so I quickly donned some sneakers with holes in them (ain't I wise) anyhoo, I was so stunned by its beauty, that I didn't care about my feet being swallowed by slush, snow and ice. I only felt it when I was back in ;)

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

Beautiful Lorraine, looks like the leaves are etched in lace. Gorgeous.

Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States

Lorraine - this is most special. I love the light - the angle - the detail - the full frame - the geometry going on in the background. Really fine.

2 Dec 2008 12:54am
