I'd have taken it in b&w. I'd have shaken the camera a bit just before I snapped, you know, to get that "jittery" look that's becoming my trademark. I'd have gone with a teeny aperture, so I could see the background better. That's what I'd have done.
OTOH, your approach has it's merits too, Ken! <LOL>
Other than that silly thing about the Wings (you're not talking hockey, are you?), and the fact that you're usurping one of our great country's most enduring symbols, I'm pretty much blown away by this.
The delicate frost, backlit on the edges of the leaves is amazing. And, the frosted whatevers, nicely OOF in the background are incredible. Great comp: not one leaf is complete - I love it.
Great photo, Ken.
cheers, frank
