Small forest plants with a dusting of early-morning frost, Rocky Mountain national Park.
After all of the in your face color in the last few posts, I decided to change things up with much more subtle image. I captured this image last fall on the west side of Rocky Mountain National Park. I was shooting moose when I paused to look down and saw something much more interesting. These tiny leaves were flocked by an early fall frost, which beautifully highlights the texture of the plants.
On a purely technical note, this picture is sharp. On the full-sized image, I can see the ice crystals on the leaf at left. Sharpness is generally overrated: strong seeing is way more important that technical perfection to a successful image. Still, there’s something pleasing about taking a tack sharp, highly-detailed photo.
