Mirco-Ice

This is an iced grass seed-head lying on the sidewalk. It's been fairly heavily cropped and "juiced" in post-processing (by my standards at any rate--all my pp is still on a whole-image basis.) Obviously, this is all about the light in the ice rather than composition. I'm pretty pleased with the detail, considering that this was taken with a lens which, while probably my favorite, is emphatically not a macro.

Superb photo. Excellent!!!

I'm thinking chandelier. Very interesting image, Dave. Bravo!

Super macro Dave, Welldone..

I'm glad you enjoyed this! I kind of wish it had more compositional interest and that it was a real macro (I wasted a lot of pixels in the crop) but I can't help feeling that the gods of photography were very generous with this one. I'm being generous to myself as well--my 105mm macro lens should arrive next week ;>)

original and artistic composition. Ciao.

 

Small diamonds ice playing with light. Congratulations. Best wishes. Vicente.

I'm so pleased you enjoyed this!

I like the sound of that and, since I wish it were true, I'll believe it.

Nice ICE!!! I really like this take on frozen water! Good work! Doug

Thanks, Doug!
