Good idea, but the leaf needs to be a bit sharper focus.

this is a nice image and even though I like the sharp focus on some of the snow I think that there should be a sharper focus on all of the leaf, just my opinion, good take on the challenge :)

The focus seems to be on the branch with snow, so the title gets lost a little. I'd love to see a tack sharp focus on the leaf and less of the white snow.

interesting how the two patterns overlap but don't clash with each other

This image shows shallow depth of field so it fits the challenge. However the background is distracting and adds nothing to the image. I know we can't always control the background but it needs to be taken into consideration as part of the image. The focus on the frost is excellent. 6 - good luck in the challenge!

It would be nice if the background here was so out of focus as to not be discernable at all... Then the "frosting" would really pop, I think. (Especially with a little backlighting, I'm thinking, on the crystals but not on the background, such that the background would become dark, or even fully black.) It also might be nice if the convergance of lines was more off-center.
