Prompt: “red maple leaf frozen inside clear ice with tiny bubbles, macro” — AI-generated and reviewed for quality before listing.

Editor's note (8.0/10): Sharp, well-composed shot matching the brief, with natural muted winter lighting; only minor softness in the outermost ice edges keeps it from a perfect score.
