This is very cool. 17 shot stack, wow! That is a lot. Very unique image and very nicely done.

This is absolutely mind blowing Mark, very creative !! The focus stacking produces such a crisp image, very nicely executed. Are those submerged leaves that are producing the color underneath the ice?
This is another image that reminds me of a painting. This is such an unique image, I love it !!!

This is sooo cool, Mark. Great shapes of color, and really nice textures. The reds look a tad over-saturated, but that is minor. Which direction did you do the stack: left to right, or bottom to top? In any event, you did a great job on this.

Intriguing and unique abstract. Just enough details come through the ice to create some mystery of whats underneath. Processing looks good, although I'd crop a bit off the right where the vegetation is protruding along the edge of the frame.

Wow, this is another winner from the ponds, and a very unusual view through the ice. The colors and fan-shaped ice remind me of butterflies. The focus stacking really looks good with great sharpness front to back. Wonderful textures also.

Way cool, Mark. The colors are obvious in the smaller version, but when I opened the larger one they became even more prominent along with all those lovely details and textures in the ice. My only suggestion would be a little crop of the URC as it is a little soft and the rest of the image is tack sharp. Beautifully done.

Love this type of abstract images, Mark. Here I find what I like most about reflected light on the ice: a nice pattern and beautiful colors.

Really nice composition Mark. Even better light and color, and even better patterns, textures and details in the ice.

Mark, you have such a great eye for these kind of scenes. I remember the images that you posted last year. This one compliments your previous images well. The bright colors and fascinating ice textures provide endless opportunities for composition. I can see why you are drawn to scenes such as this.

Wow!!! That is so cool!!
The color and shape and texture just seem to jump off the screen. The large image really shines.
Excellent job on the stacking. You did good on this!
