Alien Under Ice

You need a little imagination for this one, the ice cracks and dirt and roots looked like an alien under ice to me. Your thoughts and comments are always welcome. Thanks for looking.

very good work.my friend

Thank you kindly Mehmet, see you soon......Holger

Holger, you must have been channeling horror/sci-fi films when you shot this. It reminds me of the more recent version of "The Thing," and another fairly recent film with the basic story line that scientists uncover in polar ice a completely frozen "cave man" and take him to their lab, thaw him out, and reap the consequences. This image clearly demonstrates how ice and fallen leaves make for an effective abstract. The bold contrast certainly helps, as does the ice's texture. - - My best, michael

Thank you Michael, I gave it a little help with the low key effect in PS elements. Had to even out the eyes. Otherwise this is very close to what I saw while walking by... caught my eye, see you soon my friend..............Holger

Whoa! Methinks it’s Boris Karloff under there. Hope you have a super telephoto lens for when he breaks through!! Marvelous abstract!

Thanks very much Warren, I like your take on this, Boris did cross my mind. See you soon........Holger

I'm afraid.

You should be afraid, be very, very afraid.......Thanks Franz, see you soon mein freund.............Holger

Very interesting dramatic I would say abstract, Holger! PDE

Glad to see your wonderful abstraction, Holger! Very original and expressive! I like this geometry, colors, textures, contrast! Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

PDE and Tatiana, Thank you both for your comments and viewing my image. When true artists of abstract like you two comment on my image I am flattered. See you soon..........Holger

Yes,

No doubt -it's scary , but also very interesting!

Thanks for your visit and comment ZT, always appreciated. See you soon.............Holger

This is a really good shot, Holger with a sense of dark mystery, like finding yourself caught in a nightmare from which you wish you could awaken. I wouldn't have guessed that this was your photo but more power to you for avoiding the confines of categorization and discovering a new direction..

Well thank you Jack, it's really great to read your comment. I hope we see more than just a comment in the near future. Thanks again...........Holger

Very good eye for this street capture and of course you work in Elements really resulted in a fantastic Abstract !

Thank you so much Gail. It's always great to hear from you. Your input and images are sorely missed. See you soon..........Holger
