Imaginary Winter

Thank you for your comments on my last picture.
When I saw this scene, I began to wander with my imagination. I began to see what else this scene might be: I saw an imaginary winter. However, I do not want to influence your imagination and opinion by telling you my version now. I am looking forward to hear your comments and thoughts on this. Thank you for your time as always.

Mattia,

This is fantastic; very creative and artistic. Took me a few looks to figure out what's going on here. At first, and from viewing farther away, I thought this was a tree branch reflecting. Even continuing to look at this, it could still be something more than little tributaries in the ice. The scattered snow flakes look like coconut or white chocolate shavings. Almost like you sprinkled them on the scene for decoration. ;-)

I'm quite fascinated with this one. Love it. Imagination required, indeed.

Very nicely imaginative, Mattia. It does look like very bare trees and fallen or falling leaves.

This is really neat, Mattia. The cracks in the ice resemble trees and the snow on the ice looks like snow falling on the scene. Very creative composition!

Mattia,
When I first saw this, I thought it was a tree scene, greatly modified with filters and should have been in the photo art gallery.
Once I realized what it was, I like it even better.

This is a very cool abstract. It is a fascinating mix of elements and is very creative.

I like this a lot Mattia! Excellent eye to see and capture this so effectively. I too thought this was a tree limb shadow at first. Living in Florida, I've never seen this type of formation. It is fascinating. I love a good abstract, and this succeeds wildly.

Than you all for your comments and thoughts.
This scene reminds me of three little trees on the hills during a snowfall, as Brian suggested. I had very positive feelings when I realized what else this ice scene could be.

What a beautiful and intriguing abstract. Processing looks good although I might be tempted to play with the color balance and cool the temperature to accentuate the ice.

Mattia, This is really interesting to see and I like it alot. It actually does look like trees on a hill in a snowstorm and that is very cool. Nice job seeing and capturing this wonderful image. devil

It's like a branch, with leaves falling down........... very, very, cool.
The bits of snow are very 3D, too. Definitely something to make your imagination wander. Cool.

Exceptionally creative, Mattia. I too thought it must be photo art until I figured it out. Love this!
