Slow Start for Monday m     orning,

Good one, Grant. Many of your ice crystal photos grab the eye because of the complex patterns of numerous individual crystals. This one gets its appeal from its simplicity and a variety of edges ranging from soft to jagged.

I'll add some color. One of the things I enjoy about photography is taking closeup shots for a look at things we usually don't notice. And when the scene combines irridescent green with a vivid red, I can't resist...

Dave,
Yes those colours pop.
I like playing with curves to produce colourful effects. Here is the same file again but with upside down colour. Hint in curves I follow the histogram.

Good day, all.
Thanks for starting our daily, Grant. Oh my, I love your demonstration using the reverse to produce the upside-down colors. That is a real eye-catcher. Way to get artistic.

Dave,
I love the pastel reds and greens in that nice composition, and also the super focus you captured of the fly. Nicely done, Dave.

And in keeping with your theme and colors, here is an image from me.
(PS.  We have more visitors for the next several days, so I may be MIA for a while)

Lorell,
Your colour is quite beautiful.
Here are jpgs made from screen captures. They show two steps hoe I achieved my results.

Thanks, Grant, for sharing the process and comment on my leaves.

Beautiful image, Lorell.

Grant, that was very thoughtful of you to demonstrate and illustrate your steps.
