the dark bg represents the rocks and flowing water under the thin ice on the edge of the Yellowstone River

Doug,
I really like the different texture you "freezed" here. Beautiful comp.

I love ice shots, Doug--and the detail here is exquisite! The dark bg in the urhc is on a deeper plane than the rest of the shot, and so it throws the balance off for me ever so slightly (compare w/ a pano of the bottom 1/2), but thats a minor quibble in an otherwise excellent shot.

This is very different from so many ice images (in a good way). There are so many different textures here. I like the diagonals in this too. I'd be tempted to try this as a B&W as well.

Doug,
Very nice comp here IMO. I see Stans point about the dark areas but I would not want to lose the "Ice fingers".
Good post!
Dan

Wonderful grouping of patterns, textures, opacities. Very pleasing image.
