The ice crystals show beautifully here, Shawn, and the isolation of the thistle head shows off it shape well. When I look at the largest view, I do see a few spots where forward facing bits are soft. As of a year ago, Photoshop always left some soft areas in the middle of sharp areas because of inaccurate masking. (I showed this in my NPN workshop.) In this case it’s also possible that your closest shot wasn’t quite close enough, which happens to me more than I’d like. Yes, there are lots of small “targets” in winter, especially then there’s snow, ice, or frost.
