very nice indeed! Like the way the ice looks like it is exploding right out of the screen. Love how you have created this, it has made for a very interesting study. The rays of light added gives it a nice little touch. Thanks for sharing

This has an excellent initial impact and the colours are spot on. Very good composition and light was perfect. Great, sharp focus showing superb detail in the ice. Presented very well with a superb centre of interest. Technique and ability are very good.

Comment from mamamary


This is beautiful. I especially like the rays coming from the icer. The colors have a harmony about them. It could be ice in a pond or something from outer space. Focus, detail, and storytelling are all there. Great job.

Comment from Pat Christensen


Very interesting image! I like the effect you used here gives the illusion of an explosion or a cosmic encounter. Great lighting and color focus is a little soft but adds to the interest here. Overall a good job, enjoyed. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from d90dewey


extremely creative, and I thought more of cosmic immediately! the smaller pieces, with the "fade to black" seems to create a real feel for infinitely, and the larger pieces diamond-like in nature! very cool - no pun intended!

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


I like the image itself and the adjustments you added, all except for the framing. The double boarder to me is not needed and seems to draws the eye away from the main elements of the image for me, that should go so the image is the presentation. Other then that nicely done.
