I love the coloring scheme in this picture. The green-ness of the grass adds a nice touch. I also like the lighting, with the rays of sunlight passing through. Do you freeze leaves and then take pictures of them?

@Ben: No. I don't do the freezing. The leaf is exactly like I found it in the park near my home in California. I don't understand why the frost formed on the leaf and not on the surrounding grass. But, there must be some scientific explanation. There was very little post processing done on the leaf, just a little burning and dodging.

Very nice and the dappled lighting on the leaf really brings this to life (or death in the case of the leaf).
