I see a forearm and partly closed hand to the right of center.

I’ll see your forearm and raise you a hoperful facial silhouette looking toward the upper right corner from the appendage just above yours.

Now I do see the face but wouldn’t have without your imagination.

It’s challenging to try and imagine what exactly caused the shape to emanate from the cone. At first it looks like the cone was bleeding pine sap. Maybe it needed a police crime scene marker around it. Thanks, Lori!

Amazing! I hadn’t read the title before looking at your photo, and I actually tried to zoom in, thinking this was an aerial view of a wooden boat packed with people in dark brown anoraks, stuck in an icy river!

Great interpretation! I wouldn’t have seen it that way, probably as a result of having shot it for what it was, but I can see it now. Cool, Carol. Thanks!

This is a winner Steve! A++ I like how the shape in the ice resembles a tree branch. You should print this and enter it in a show or online contest!

Thank you, Ms. Bush! I appreciate the generous grade. 🙂
That’s a good suggestion. I haven’t entered anything in quite a while.

I really like this one. Absolutely fascinating patterns, almost as if they’re growing out from the pine cone. Good eye seeing this out there!

Thanks, Todd. In reality I think they did grow out from the pine cone. Exactly how that happened I don’t know but I liked it and am glad that you do also.

Nice Steve! It sort of looks like an ice antler growing out of the pine cone. Add a red bow it would look like a Christmas card!

Sorry, I wasn’t clear – I mean the “trail” of frost that seems to be connected to the frost around the cone. Seeing it makes me wonder how it happened.

I should have figured that out. 🙂 How it happened is a fun mystery. Another candidate for a time lapse.

The pattern in the ice looks like an exploded view of the pine cone seeds. If a pine cone could set fluff flying, it might look like this.
