Not much to add to yesterdays commentary. I hope you enjoy this additional image from this past weekend. Happy Friday.

I do find this one more interesting than yesterday’s. I don’t know that I have anything to compare it to, but there’s a lot to look at in this one. Maybe a couple faces here and there, some figures, a little music playing in the background. And a nice bunch of Concord grapes!

Ice is fascinating and the more you look, the more there is to see. Thanks, Todd.

I love this one, too. Very clever water!
(Cannot say “smart water” apparently Coca-Cola has trademarked that one, I’ve seen it in stores “hydrologic cycle!” “vapor distilling!” “electrolytes!” 🙂 )

I seem to have a penchant for narrowing the view in winter.

Thanks, Lemony. Ice does offer us an amazing assortment of shapes and patterns.

This one is by far the best abstract that you have posted. I’m not sure if when you are photographing your intent is to make it an abstract or not. In my opinion it is better than any so called abstract art that I’ve seen.

When I do these it is definitely with an abstract image in mind, Yvonne. I usually try to simplify them, but there was too much of interest here and I am not sure simplification was preferable.

It is good anyway you look at it or want to call it.

That’s a very fine abstract. I agree with Yvonne.

The patterns and the bits of bright white are lovely, but it’s the rainbow-like iridescence that really appeals. I’ve never seen a rainbow set in a frozen sky before.

It’s there fairly often, I’ve found, Linda. It takes a certain clarity of the ice and the light coming at the right angle.
Two of my favorites are here (third one down) and here.

I’ve seen ice abstracts, but this one goes beyond! positively Rococo! 😉 (And so perfectly toned, but no surprise in that!).

I don’t think I would have made the Rococo connection on my own, but appreciate your pointing it out. My responses to what I choose to photograph are more visceral than intellectual, so making a comparison to most anything else usually escapes me. Thank you.

I don’t take a very intellectual approach either, but then later, sometimes associations come to mind, especially when I’m looking at another person’s work. Part of the beauty of the comments section, right? 😉

Yes. I’ve often been happily surprised by some of the connections people see…as well as suggestions for captions. 🙂
