Ice over pond in Hampstead Heath. The branching pattern looks like a tree abstract with dried up leaves.

Gary: WELL SEEN! Just excellent. Its hard to say where to crop on a scene like this but I also see a simpler vertical with just the large "tree" on the right. Well done.>=))> :cool:

Well seen, Gary! If the ice patterns weren't in the shape of tree branches this wouldn't have nearly the impact it does. :toast:

Wow... Wonderful image Gary. It works for me exactly as posted, although I agree with Bill that there are other images within it.

Something different - very effective!
Looks like a branch frozen in the ice, and the leaves are just perfect.
Great eye to visualize this image!

Yeah, Gary, I like this a lot. I'm crazy about it with a crop off the left, just to the right of the little "tree", and just before the 2 leaves. !! A smidge off the top, too. Ooooo... ! I think that would simplify the comp and strengthen your concept. Great find ! :cool:
