Took a couple photos of these beautiful nature's own ice sculptures.
(And these look a lot better when viewed bigger on a black background)

Nice shots Joni, they look great when viewed with a black background!!!

I quite agree, they look better in the larger mode. But in addition, in the larger mode, one can see the secondary motif, the running water, whcih adds greatly to these fine images. I like no-3 best. No-2 has one small intensely white area (dot almost) that is distracting, even if it naturally there.

Heh, had to quickly clone it away after you said it. It really was so distracting!

The first and third, really work for me. Really nice work here...
and as the others have mentioned the larger versions with black background really pop.

Very beautiful, Joni! I love it how the crisp bright ice surrounds the dark and smooth water below, Did you use a longer shutter speed?

**rparmar** · 01-27-2009, 01:19 PM

Love ice; love these shots.

Joni, you are striking us with excellent photography again. Really respecting your style and composition skill. A real fan

interesting shots, Perhaps this should be a new thread orr a monthly contest.

We'd better hurry though, winter only has another 2-3 months in canada

Thanks gawan. Exposure times were something between 0,5sec and 3sec.
