The Nicest Ice
My semi-annual pilgrimage to Green Mountain Falls to shoot the ice.

Dead around here. Not much feedback these days. Well, I personally appreciate a few from your blog vs the above "Nice Ice" image. The processing appears spot on in all of your submitted images but conp wise I like Tortured Soul, and Ice Puzzle. Love to check that place out one day. It's about Dream time Stan, let me know.

Puzzle and the next to last one are my faves. I think I like Entombed but wonder if changing the comp on that one would have made it more dynamic. But if it is entombed then maybe you have it exactly right and it should not be dynamic! And I really like the way the images work together as a series.

And I agree with Kane that we don't have the same response rate here as we did. Hope that comes back....

Thanks guys! Social media etc have killed the participation for sure, but what goes around comes around.

I am finding myself liking "Behind the Curtain". It's different and unique. No nits on that one from me.

After looking at all of them I would have to go with Kane's choices for the ice images. I didn't stop at the ice though, I went through all of them and it looks like you had a pretty fantastic year. From the Maroon Bells to moose in the Tetons. From an electric storm in your own back yard to a storm in the Arizona desert. And of course, The Great Sand Dunes. A pretty impressive year Stan.

Great ice images! I love the contrast both in season and in color of Entombed and crystal puzzle is fascinating. I'm most drawn to the one before tortured soul, looks like a little cave that draws me in and the variations of ice are unusual. Nice work! :smile:

Looks like your usual fun with ice. I like Crystal Puzzle the best, but all are well done.

I always enjoy your ice abstracts. "Entombed" is my favorite. Nice warm - cool contrast.
