Hi Horia,
glad to hear you're out making the most of the snow, i think we've finally seen the last of it over here! This is a very nice abstract inpsired by Markus. Good sharp details and very intersting patterns. I hope you got some landscapes to share too!
well done my friend, this would look great blown up and framed!

Hello Horia
First of all I see you have a nice new bit of glass attached to your camera..Congratulations on your purchase.
Secondly this is a great abstract.....Although I do feel it lacks a little resolution..I would put this down to either a very small upload size (Which is a good thing until the site sorts out its resale policy) or most probably you have pushed the lense beyond its limits of sharpness by using f22...At this f stop most lenses will lose all sharp definition...I would suggest not going above f 16.
All the Same a great Abstract and I trust you are well.
All the Best
Billy

Hi Horia,
excellent result here, we can see the crystals so sharp. You had the same idea than I had - I also made some shots of icecrystals at the weekend - I had several chances because it was cold and snowing every day ...
Thanks and greetings

Hello Horia,

It's fun and I kind of like abstract work whether the subjedt is nature or not and whether it's inspired by Markus or not;-).
I spot a lot of arrows or v's within the ice.

Hello Horia !
In France it was snowing for two days now, this is quite unusual too - didn't see it since I was a child, I think ! :-) Nice to see that winter still exists in our countries ! And the picture you show us today is really amazing. Nature is the greatest of all the artists, and you managed to capture all the beauty she created on this picture. I really love the shape and textures of this ice. A real pleasure for the eye. Very well done !
Valérie.

Hi Horia!

One of the critques says it perfectly well: it's not important if it's inspired by Markus' work! It has to exist by its own, and finally we are all inspired by something or somebody.

I like your picture very much. It's amazing to see the repetition of the crystals and the impact of the puzzle. The effect of the abstarct subject is very pleasant and you have taken full advantage of these shapes.

Kind regards

Markus

Salut Horia
Se pare ca in aceste zile mohorate, cand iarna inca nu vrea sa plece iar pana in primavra mai este destul, Markus inspira pe multi cu imaginile lui "inghetate".Frumoasa si simpla imagine cu aceste cristale de gheata.
O noua lentila de macro? Sa o stapanesti sanatos si asteptam (mai ales eu) fotografii noi cu ea!
Numai bine, Oana

Hi Horia.
This winter we have not snow at all and almost all days temperature is positive. Nice sample of abstract art. Ice pattern which you have [pictured is very attractive. I like to see your work with amazing macro lens and I am interested for your choice of exposure parameters and your aperture value which usually does not give maximum details (sharpness). What do you think about filter (I have not polarizer) in this case. Whether it has given any effect? My kind regards and TFS. Nice work.
Alexei.
