Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

Another odd ice formation from my trips up to Dream Lake last month. Hope you are all not bored yet. :smile:

That is awesome. It looks like a reflection in the ice of the moon and tree branches and stars.

Another wonderful abstract Jimmy. From the thumbnail, it looked like the moon and stars. Heat find!

You are giving us a hard time - the last one was great. Now you post this one - superb work and processing. Care to share any processing technique that you have used here - looks lovely

Looks like a bunch of small UFOs approaching the mother ship! :biggrin: Fascinating abstract Jimmy - I might boost the saturation a bit to really emphasize the blues.

Always a fan of ice abstractions. I enjoy the different layers of this image. Would love to see a large print of this.

Very Cool :cool: It is like looking through a "cracked window glass" on a cold, windless, and snowy evening with the glowing full moon present! So many interpretations can come out of these images!!

Another nice abstract, these look like modern art paintings to me. A very contemporary feel to it.

Fantastic, Jimmy. Love the lines of the fractures and the bubble is perfect. Could be an impressionistic image of the moon rising through a snowstorm in an ancient forest. This is really a stunning ice abstract.

Love this -- I'm always a fan of square comps that work well - and with such a cool (pun intended :smile: ) subject! :toast:

Jimmy - You've done it again- another fine ice shot. Inspirational. Very bizarre, that white spot. Somehow reminds me of an alien solar system. :toast:

Reminds me of "Starry Starry Night." Except it has a full moon. :biggrin:
Outstanding shot, Jimmy! Just a great comp.

Wonderful abstract, Jimmy! I like the colors, tones, lines, and
