Ice Worms

After the frost on the windows of my last post we continued having cold weather at night, so I put out a mirror tile to see what I'd get.  Wre did't get frost, but it did rain a bit and then freeze, so I took some extreme close-ups of the frozen water drops.  This was one of the larger ons and I cropped it so only the center of it was in the final image.  I the jacked up the contrast to turn the background almost black.

Comments and critiques are appreciated.

Thanks,

Another very cool iced abstract Dennis. I like the contrast and the directional spread of the drops near the top. Well orchestrated image.

Love all the strange, little faces (at least I see a lot). Very fine photo.

Wow, it seems like this is "graphic" day.  Another fine graphic design.  The combination of drops and streaks looks good and the high contrast sets things off very well, Dennis.

A fascinating and charming abstract, Dennis.  It seems almost like someone has written some Islamic script on speed !  Your trouble was well worth while !
