Las pequeñas terminaciones (frutos) en las ramas dan un toque de color a la imagen.
Buena nota Bob.

Hello Bob,
Why not as a Christmas, if not a seasonal token! The reddish of the maple keys combines nicely with the frost on the tree to give that basic christmas color feeling. Personally I have been involved in the run-up to Christmas (Advent) as I sing in the local choir and both Swedish and Christmas carols in English feature.
So for me this well composed shot full of atmosphere is eminently suitable.
Thanks,
Ivan

Hello Bob,
beautiful image of this maple tree.
I love how each seed is lined with frost and I like how they stand out well against the pale surroundings.
Great composition as well.
Thankyou for the Christmas Card ;)
Great notes.

Joe

Hi Bob, I don't know what it is with the colours of your photos, but each time I am stunned to look and see them. It's always very subtle, I don't know how you go out and get those colours, but I truly appreciate them. It's your photographer's eyes, it's a gift you have and thank you to share it. The light and the colours are always beautiful, there's always a pattern of some kind. Like this photo, the pattern of branches in frost, absolutely "ravissant". Your life has changed a lot, your notes are always interesting and human. Thanks for the note and also, thanks for the beautiful Christmas card.

Once again you've captured the feel of the scene...the cold and the freshness of the winter morning.
Thank you!

Hello Bob,
Well Mr.Shannon excellently composed shot with lovely red helicopters covered with frost. I remember as a child my mom showing me how the seeds whirl like a helicopter blade when you threw them in the air. This memory brought to me by your image, thanks Bob.

Hello Bob

I know exactly what you are saying.The mornings when the frost or light snow covers everything,it is indescribable like millions of diamonds.We are lucky to witness it even if briefly.
The maple seeds stand out well ,their colour is striking against a fairly colourless backdrop.
The shot is well focused with a very good DOF.
The shot has a dreamy feel to it.The foreground tree is well focused against a backdrop of OOF branches.
The frost adds that little bit of sparkle.

Hi Bob,
The image is subtle in it's impact, one must get behind the artist's message (a great one) to fully appreciate it..This one grows on you :)
Very well done,
Howard
