This is the same iced over pool as my Yosemite Details #12 image, but this time I looked for the golden glow of sunlight reflected off of El Capitan, along with nice ice patterns.

I like the almost bas relief of the iced surface. That golden glow certainly does you no harm either!cool

Nice warm take on the ice theme.  Makes one wonder what's causing this reflection.

I reckon this could be anywhere.  Love the bronze tint with the bits of blue in the texture of this ice. i have really enjoyed your Yosemite detail series.

Nice ice patterns, especially the collection in the upper left quadrant is very interesting. The warm light creates a lot of feeling.

Very nice! It does look like bronze and I love the textures here. The light worked great! If you could pick this piece up it looks like it would be very heavy...cool

More cryptic markings.  Nice reflections.  Would make good BW.

Terrific abstract patterns/ethchings throughout the image, Preston. Well seen and captured in nice light for bringing them out.

Hey Preston,

This looks familiar!  I really like the combination of chosen "graphics" and the reflected light (from El Capitan there TK...) 

I like that you have included a bit of the reflected blue sky. I also like that there is graphic interest in all four quadrants - there is no wasted space here.  The only suggestion I have is for a slight boost in brightness. I mean, at this point it's all on one's personal choices, but I might experiment with that.  Otherwise, I like this very much.
