February 19th, 2008 at 8:10 amVery very unusual and beautiful ice formations and an elegantly composed shot.
I would have done some gardening or photoshop work to remove those twigs in the foreground. -

February 19th, 2008 at 8:29 amVery unusual. The twigs in the foreground do not detract as it is nature. The only ice I ever see is in the freezer and frost on only a few mornings each winter.

February 19th, 2008 at 2:38 pmThis is wonderful, something rarely seen, beautifully composed, delicate in nature, pristine and shot with know how. I give this a 10+! I looked for twigs in the foreground but must not be seeing them, I do not see any, nor any distracting lines.

February 19th, 2008 at 3:57 pmInteresting and unusual subject. Those ice crystals are beautiful.I like the almost monochromatic look and the diversionary path of the boulders. Good depth of field. Well captured.

February 19th, 2008 at 4:04 pmKind of reminds me of a winter version of anemones like we have in the Oregon coast tide pools. Thank you for sharing such a breathtaking glimpse of winter in your area. It’s a beautiful image.
