The detail is amazing in this. I like that they are forming an angle across the image. I do wish there was a little more space top, right and left. The colors and lighting are also excellent.

The only thing I can see is like Country's Mama it would be nice to have a bit more space on the top and left. Otherwise a great picture with lots of detail....

I do agree that the crop is a little too tight. I can redo and correct that issue. Thank you, as always, for your valued input.

Thank you, Nanaval, for your valued input. I was trying to focus on showing the details and got carried away with too tight a crop. I am going to redo and correct. I appreciate your time in giving me helpful suggestions.

I like the tight crop. We are looking not only at the subject but its details. Personally, I don't need more black. If it were of a person looking in a certain direction, I could see adding more space. Besides, the top left of the photo is the "beginning," I think, and the bottom left is the "end," and there is a bit of space there. As this photo is not asking the viewer to look out of the photo, I think it is perfect as it could be. Just my opinion, contrarian as usual.

I love the colours in this image .. I love that the ice crystals are tack sharp, and I like the composition for the most part ... the daffodil could use a bit more room in my opinion.

Thank you for sharing your opinion, Ediesaul. A different set of eyes seeing things in a different way is always good.

Thank you Nightski. My main goal of highlighting the ice crystals was accomplished, and I agree with the majority that the crop is too tight.
