"... a man who keeps company with glaciers comes to feel tolerably insignificant by and by." -Mark Twain

This intimate, abstract image showcases nature's dramatic colors and forms. One's eye is drawn to the bottom opening that is slightly out of scale with the ice around it.

The reflection of a flower appears in a raindrop until the breeze blows it away.

This is a technically accomplished image that makes effective use of complimentary colors. The bold foreground leaf dominates the composition.

My intention is to show water in three stages, solid (ice), liquid (water), and the impression of evaporation by including small bubbles raising.

Flowers from my garden captured not in a vase of water but a block of ice bubbles to create movement in a distinctive way.

Bright colors and texture make this image pop. The elements on the left side of composition feel busy.

"The blue iris, so straight, so sweet lipped." - Mary Oliver

This is a beautifully composed painterly image with cracks in the ice creating interesting texture and a sense of depth.

TehDrip, Drip, Drip

The gentle curving line and soft depth of field create a pleasing image. The reflection in two of the three drops is out of focus.
