1. Wow

and speechless but I love it. Someone better with words will have to comment but I think it is damn near perfect.

4. Thanks. The pattern reminds me of sparks, which in turn

reminds me of fractals.

The sky is lighter today and the roads clearer, I just might take some more photos today. I took somewhere around 80 images yesterday just in my cul de sac. Today I might venture out to a local park.

6. Part of what is so neat

is you know what it is but your eyes and brains just don't want to agree. Fractals came to my mind but doesn't really fit either. Even the looks black and white but the hints of color prove it isn't plays into making it work so well.

7. That's why I resisted going b&w in pp.

2. What an amazing shot!

Oh gosh, and you can see the branches through the ice!!!!

9. I am hoping for some sun to turn the ice into diamonds

3. That is all kinds of wow!

Amazingly beautiful.

8. Thanks. One reason I get up close to my subjects is to simplify.

I learned that when I was a kite maker. When the kite is in the sky elaborate designs disappear. Simple designs work better.

Tal Streeter was an inspiration.

10. Reminds me of frogs toes.

A very very mutant frog, to be sure....

Incredible shot. I am agape.

[alfredo]

11. Thanks. I have finished more and will post them shortly.

Not sure if they will have the same impact, but that's OK.

14. Great shot

I tried for something similar last winter and failed miserably. Checking out the others on your Facebook page.

15. What you see is the result of nearly 100 photos over two days.

I am not afraid to crop up to 50%. Curves, auto white balance and wavelet sharpening are the tools I used the most for these images.

16. Here's one in color

[alfredo]

17. one more storm, this time in full color

18. This is awesome, Alfredo.

Good job!

[alfredo]

19. Thanks. There's a lot to say for taking hundreds of

photos at a time. The law of averages are on your side.

20. Magnificence squared. I'm late seeing these, and can only

join in with the chorus of adoring observers. You must be so pleased with the results of your work.
Each one is more startling and powerful than the next.
More than special - unforgettable.

21. That is so cool, excellent!
