Photography : Photo Of The Week : #65 03.10.2003
 


This photo was taken in the mountains surrounding in Wisconsin -- a frozen lake, nonetheless.

I have to admit that I think I botched the composition of this shot.  Originally, the shot was intended to be 180-degrees, with the leaf pointing upwards.  But I just couldn't get it to look good.  Up, down, left, right ... nothing quite worked.  I finally settled on this orientation. My biggest problem is that I lopped-off the end of the stem when I took the shot.  That really limited my ability to create a "balanced" image that had an equal amount of ice all the way around.
