This has such an abstract painting look - I don't think I would have known what it was if you hadn't told us! A beautiful result though! I've been almost standing on my head to see which way you rotated it! lol :-()

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Wow! Definitely abstract looking. I would not have picked it out as ice on first look.

@Viewfinder: Thanks, VF. I thought the title should offer some help.
Koushiro from Singapore, Singapore
That's rather cool! Like Viewfinder, i could hardly believe it was ice! I actually thought it was waves... ^^"
25 Feb 2008 12:03pm
@Koushiro: Waves would be interesting. The stream where it was taken was only about half a meter across. Thank you, Koushiro.

@Tanya Hotchkiss: Thank you, Tanya. It's a macro of ice in a small stream that had lots of texture. I did some cropping and rotated the original until I liked the result. I than added a tint at the top using Picasa 2 which you can download free.
