The shapes in the ice caught my eye and now when I look at it I half see things that might haunt my dreams.:wink:

Cool abstract, I would crop out the rock on the left side though as it's an eyecatcher. Also the top looks a bit soft, perhaps due to web compression at this size, hard to tell. Nicely seen.

Very cool! Good eye and good comp. The processing makes this with the right touch of contrast :wavey:

Really exotic photo! This feels like a ghost haunting my dreams only that I am awake.

Wow, interesting abstract work here Dean. It has the Tron theme mixed with a little bit of smoke from the Cheshire Cat.

Excellent abstract, Dean. I also noticed the distracting thing on the right that Floris mentioned. Maybe cropping it away will simplify the image.

I like the curly nature of the shapes ...

Looks awesome Dean. I am not gonna tell you what I see, you definitely wont be able to sleep. :smile: I might crop the thing on the right off, it might focus the eye better on the weirdness going on in the ice. Cheers

A great title Dean, and it fits the image so well. Great composition and beautiful color, buth there is something hauntingly evil about it. Very neat image.

Great photograph and title. Indeed there are a lot of shapes and things that stimulate the imagination in this image.

Amazing patterns to explore, maybe a tighter crop all around to increase the abstract element!

Gorgeous patterns Dean and I love the title. Lots to look at here. Maybe your strongest image of all I've seen from you on this site. My guess is the image needs to be lightened up considerably for print to maximize its appearance.

Fascinating! I love the darkness here, it really seems to bring out the shapes well.

Exceptionally cool! Great mood with the blue tone and there are so many images the brain can conjure in the ice. :toast:

My thoughts exactly, Dean! A fine image, too, though, with nice balance and eerie color. It's a fascinating abstract.
