Botanical on ice


Finding nice green stuff outdoors right now is hard to come by...so I did the next best thing. I found some frozen green stuff...namely a holly bush at the corner of my house that has been the recipient of some dripping water from my gutter. All that snow has to go somewhere where it melts. I love icicles. They are so pretty and pure. The dripping and then freezing water also makes for an interesting take on this week's theme of botanicals. I lowered the saturation on this shot to go along with the icy feel of the weather.

Settings: ISO 200, F 6.3, SS 1/20, focal length 200mm.
