Leaves in ice

I was happy with the result of this photo...

and I don't know how to do a 100% crop so here is just a crop... :confused:

also just to bare in mind that even the first shot is a crop of the original...

Was just really impressed with the clarity of the photo.

cool pic! Was actually gonna do something similar like that. Read about it one of those magazines!
Really amazing how many details you got!

Nice shot.

Yeah it was in last years autumn winter magazine. I tried it myself, Gives great texture assuming you don't catch reflections.

Like it.

The leaf was a blue colour... green at the tips... I'm no scientist but I'm sure there is an easy explanation for it most likely to do with the ice...

Some good textures and shapes you got going there Colin. Can't help but think it's a little too heavy on the saturation tho.

To do a 100% crop, you zoom till the image is at 100% in your image editor, and crop!

EDIT: Just saw cyKey said the same!

Surprisingly it's only +7 on saturation... The original's colour was really vibrant!

Its where you zoom in to 100% to see how sharp the lens really is. A good lens will be as sharp at 100% as a bad lens is at 25%.
