Haven't gotten out much recently to do any photography and for no good reason. I tried to break that bad habit earlier this week, by trying to find interesting things in my neighborhood. Little Dry Creek runs through the neighborhood and has developed somewhat interesting ice crystals on its surface. I don't have a true macro lens so this is about as macro as I can go. I thought the tonality of the B&W version was a little nicer looking than the color version although my B&W conversion skills are virtually non-existent. Thanks for looking.

Nikon D200, 28-105mm, circular polarizer

Those crystals are a great find, Doug.
Although it would have been nice to explore these structures further with a macro, I think this is a fine composition.

Interesting composition. You did better with the conversion that I would have done. Nice image.

The ice crystals are great. Nice job on the conversion.

You inspire me to get back to my Estes Ice shots and actually do something with them. Thanks.

Great detail in the ice and the BW is nice. Would like to see a color version as well.
