Rashed and Gail - Thanks for your comments. The blue is sky; the reddish tones are dead leaves still hanging on the oak trees; the brown pillar on the left is a tree right outside the window, and the cream colored horizontal streak on the right are townhouses through the woods that are visible only in winter. I opened up the aperture to narrow the dof, kicked up the shutter speed to compensate, focused on the sheets of ice coating the window, looked the focus and then moved slightly backward or forward to blur even the ice for a softer effect. I was reminded of a soft impressionst/abstract painting when I looked through the lens.

Interesting abstract feel. I love doing shots with the ice on windows (maybe because I have an old leaky house and all of my windows ice up.) The focus on the ice might have been a little stroger so that the viewer had a better idea of what we are looking at (through) and didn't feel it was just an out of focus shot. It is a very fine line and I like what is happening with it. - Charles

Hi Charles - For me this is the lens approaching the paintbrush creating a soft modernistic abstract. I didn't want to give away the medium at all in the photo - the extreme blur is intentional - I moved the focal plane around until I saw what I liked thru the view finder. Total experiment - very impromptu - looked thru the ice-coated windows and grabbed my favorite digital playmate. When I look at this I find it very soothing and I can either remember the frigid January day when I took the photo, or let my imagination tell me I'm on a beach or underwater...
