Thanks, Matjaz. You're right. The reflections is what makes the image. I was quite disappointed about the appearance of the frost on the straw. There was a lot more of it than what appears on the image. That day I had forgotten my tripod at home, so in pure panic I decided to try to push Velvia one stop to get some extra speed working freehand. This is a nice trick when doing forest interiors and such, but here I think the contrasts in the motif are simply too large for the film to cope.
