Very nice Jane, frost and droplets of water on foliage and flower can certainly make a nice subject. If I may suggest a move that I would take to compose such a subject it would be to gently bend away or otherwise remove unwanted flower or foliage, such as that to the bottom right of your picture.

I'm not sure how well it works - just another version Jane.
Perhaps it depends on whether we regard the frost or the flower (bud) as the main point of interest.

Peter, I think the way you have edited Jane's image is just what it needs.

Jane, you can see in Peter's version that even the easy-to-do edits - decreasing the brightness and increasing the contrast - have enhanced the appearance of the frost crystals on the plant.

Cheers.

Thank you again Peter and Philip. I have done a bit of cropping and adjusted the brightness and contrast, what do you think?

I like it Jane, you've really brought out definition in the frost, and the closer crop works well.

Another 1 minute difference in our posts, Peter!

We are actually many miles apart Jane - honestly!
