First posted in ESS, it was suggested I give it a try here... It's a watergrass strand poking out of he ice, with added Orton thanks to PS.

Jim, this really appeals to me - less is more, as they say. Although I've heard of the Orton technique, can you refresh my memory?

Sally,

Orton technique is an analogue process... (remember film?) Two over-exposed transparencies are sandwiched together... one is tack-sharp, the other quite blurred. An article will be appearing here soon to describe the PS steps.

This appeals to me as well. Nice subtle study. Well composed.
