In our non winter, there have been a few days where the ice has managed to build up for some interesting vistas.

Nice ice! The small version really suffers badly from compression and size. The larger version allows the details in the ice formations to be clearly seen, which is my favorite part of the image.

Really liking this image Bob. It's hard to determine the scale of the ice, and in this respect I find it fascinating. The detail in the large version is fantastic. Love the soft purple color and the flow of water through the image, as well as the various textures. The deep darks contrasting with the luminous ice is wonderful.

Bob,

This is fascinating and wonderful and I'm surprised that this hasn't received more comments. I'll echo all of David's comments and also add that the lack of scale adds some deception and intrigue. I keep looking at this trying to figure it all out. I also like the cool tone. Excellent texture and detail. Love this!

Lon

Mark,David,Lon, thanks for the feedback. Not being a "true landscape" shooter, just learning really, I'm encouraged by your response to the image. Thanks for stopping by and taling the time to comment.

This makes we want a cold glass of water. A very refreshing image and nicely done.

A nice abstract, Bob. The textures here are really nice. It's maybe a bit busy. I find my eyes sort of wandering around the frame instead of settling down

Interesting image. (I would have liked to have seen the specs) The ice looks very "crystalline" and oh so clear. As noted, there's no sense of scale, and that adds to the interest. I do find that the rock on the left intrudes a bit. Overall, though, reall neat image with super coloration. :toast:
