Absolutely beautiful image! Very minimal (something that is quite close to my heart these days) What is the background?

Hello, Tom…the Maple leaf is caught, or resting, in a tiny cleft in a snow bank…. Thank you for your very kind words….

How gorgeous..I wonder how long he will be held..

Thank you, Cath…and I can’t imagine it will be for too long…he’s right next to a trail and it does get rather breezy (windy) up there in the mountains where I found him…

Well spotted Scott. Elegant composition and very understated with the snow textures. Beautiful.

Can’t explain it, but I think this shot made it to the top of my list of favorites of all your shots. So simple, so beautiful and so wonderful.

Really, Gunta? Wow…. Thank you…….

It almost doesn’t look real…such a contrast! Thanks, Scott!

Oh, but it is, Cathy…my knees are still aching from where I went to find it! Most welcome….

Magnificent Scott. The simplicity is spectacular, and the structure of the wispy snow crystals against the red leaf is lovely.
Did you try a lot of exposures to nail this one?

Thank you very much, Finn…and this was one of only four shots that I took of the leaf, if that’s what you mean. I saw the leaf and what I believed to be potential for a nice photo…and only kneeled down to have the camera “blindly” take the photo without checking the image in the viewing screen…didn’t feel like laying in the snowy trail. I checked each image in the screen after taking it and hoped there would be something good when I got home and looked at them on the computer…. I was pleased with the results.

Utterly beautiful

Such nice words, Dreams and Zeros…thank you.

The leaf appears to be drifting down from a tree. I love this one.
January 11, 2013 at 10:54 pm
Why, thank you, George! I think it might have traveled three feet down the snow bank from where it had been hanging earlier…but I can see how it appears to be floating still….
