I like the contrast of the Fall leaf against the snow. Good correct exposure on the snow.

Nice. I absolutely like the footsteps in the snow around the leaf, but in a PP version I would have cloned out the thingie in the upper right and bottom left corner, and perhaps the blob at three-o-clock also. Too dark. The footsteps are subtle, they add to the picture and the "chrystal" pattern on the left imprint is just great :) Well seen, nice comp.

Beautiful!! and thanks for taking time to look down before stepping :) There is beauty everywhere, one just has to look.
I am also glad that you took this challenge seriously enough to shoot all 6 brand new shots. I really appreciate your playing along.

Thank's Debi, I pretty much always shoot RAW so I don't have any unadulterated JPGs; so for this challenge I'm posting six new shots, :-) -mcbit
