 This image was taken on an icy day on the edge of the Scottish Highlands. A small beck was flowing downhill and the edges froze around leaves, grass and rocks.If you look closely you can see the blades of grass caught in the ice.

It was only when I got back I realised I'd forgotten to change my ISO setting - gutted! Anyway, it is what it is.

Hello from the critique club

An image that contributes to the challenge

The way the ice encapsulates the leaves like this is amazing sin't it, I recall a similar experience in Iceland some years ago. To be honest, I think there is rather too much going on here, there is no focal point, I think you would have been better to isolate a smaller part of the image in a macro to emphasis that encapsulation. Also, you remark about your ISO but to be honest with such a small aperture you couldn't have gone too much lower anyway. I always try to avoid using such small apertures to avoid the high ISOs compensation necessary to produce a shake-free image.
