[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Inspired by Markus‘s pictures with ice in one cold morning I decided to looked around for some ice or ice figures. There were few pools near the road and many of them not frozen. I found one and I tried to improvise something.
Taken in RAW, saved in jpeg, cropped and decreased the color temperature in Picasa (for more blue color, how Horia recommend me once)
Maybe is not so sharp, so, this is the reason that I called “impression”. And maybe is not so “nature”, but, Belgium is confronting in this time with the most severe winter in the last years (they told me in the last 30 years or more). The snow and temperatures below zero were quite frequent this winter. The nature suffers from this kind of temperatures, especially those cultivated and ornamental plants that are growing in the gardens.
But I hope you like it!

Hello Oana,
This is a very fine capture of an ice formation showing a lovely simple pattern in beautiful colours. I like the contrast between the 'brown' and the 'hazy' part. Very well framed too!
TFS and have a nice weekend! Ulla

Hi Oana,

Looks as if Markus has started something but it is wonderfull to see the beauty that nature can make. Well exposed using light well.
The weather is doing funny things this year. Some areas near us have had more than 200% of the average rainfall causing flooding but also massive vegetation growth which is good for the animals.

Hi oana,

Interesting and beautiful abstract impression.
I like the soft and gentle curves and the glimpses here and there of what lies beneath the ice.

Salut Oana!

Very arty picture today. Water and ice are always good subject to photograph. You turned common view into modern art. I like it very much!

Hi Oana,
A lovely abstract of this ice sculpture. Very good dedication to an expert in these type of photography. Very well composed. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hello Oana,
Markus inspired you to an interesting composition, but in your own personal way. I like the framing you have chosen and the curved patterns of the ice. Fine colors too.
Well seen.
Best regards
Anne

Buna Oana,

Interesanta compozitie, gheata pare a fi sticla modelata cu ajutorul focului, paradoxal nu? Bravo.

Numai bine, Cezar T.

Hi Oana!

Many thanks for this delightful dedication! I'm touched and feel very happy. Isn't it a great success if one can inspire other photographers? Moreover, the picture is superb! I like these soft lines very much and I'm delighted by their repetition. The colours are fine, too and highlight the shapes at best. I also believe that the unsharpness creates a particular and pleasant effect. By the way, it easily can occurr with ice surfaces that the autofocus gets troubles. It doesn't know it want the ice surface or the underlying underground to be sharp. I also sometimes use this effect or have to use the manual focus.

Many thanks again, dear Oana!

Markus

Hi Oana,
this is wonderful, ice can look like artwork, I love the forms, just beautiful, thanks

Buna Oana .
foarte interesanta compozitia ta . Fac o paranteza ... ar trebui sa incerci odata o iarna canadiana :) , aici zero grade este * piece of cake * , cunosc Belgia , am fost acolo in luna martie cu ceva ani in urma si intr-adevar e o iarna blanda .... adica "era" mai bine zis. Anyway live is beautiful wherever you are !

toate cele bune.

Dana.

Hi Oana.
First of all thanks for kindness and mark me as a favorite TN member as well as for opportunity to meet your nice photo collection. I selected this one because I like Markus's pictures so much and you managed to select shot which is suitable for dedication by the best way. You have found and pictured a very attractive ice pattern and I like framing of the subject so much. May be it is not tack sharp. You are right here. Light conditions I suppose were not ideal for shooting. However, you have reflected the soul for nature art. And it is key point. My best wishes and TFS.
Alexei.

Very beautifully seen and presented Oana. I love to find such patterns in nature. Very nice indeed... :) TFS.
