I love seeing the tips of the thorns sticking through the ice Mike. Cool details. (no pun intended)

Yes, Moats for sure. Love the color and clarity. Can you tell us about the black BG? :jump:

Hey Jerry, the BG was very cluttered so I used some black felt the I carry with me.
Thanks for comment.

I like the warm colors with the ice - very unusual. Nice BG as well.

WHat a good idea to carry some black felt...I used to carry a black poster board and that was always awkward to tote!!! So...I'll get the black felt...easier to carry...Oh BTW, nice image, Mike! :smile: Like the thorns sticking through the ice!

Very nice Mike - I've had a tough time getting icicles look natural since the move to digital (not sure of the reasons, maybe it's just me). But these look pretty darn good. As always - good eye to see this among the chaos.

Hey Will, I tried to shoot a landcape shot of the ice in the trees when the sun was out and everything sparkled, but the shots came out bad. :frown: I not sure how to shoot it.

Great shot Mike. The detail even through the ice distortion is excellent on the thorned spine here. Congratulations on your EP selection for this week.

You did it AGAIN! :smile: Are you sure you're not an alchemist? A miracle worker? You've got a fine eye and great technique, that's for sure. Congrats on yet another EP. :jump:
