You never know what kind of interesting patterns Mother Nature will create where water is involved! A great photo of this abstract icy image,sorta reminds me of a stained glass pattern,very harmonious and peaceful looking.You photographed this at a great angle,with a nice diagonal feel.

I like how you directly photographed the ice waves while omitting the other parts like the sky and context which takes place, and I think that's great. It provides a sense of abstraction and makes us focus on the subtle aesthetics that these ices waves provide, showing the beauty of the randomness of nature. Seeing the muted blue hues along with the slight reflections of the sun all come together to provide both abstract design elements along with a great nature photo.

Thanks for sharing this unusual phenomenon of winter. Your image reminds me of a quilt or stained glass window. You must have been on your knees to get such an interesting perspective. Very pretty colors too!

Comment from Nature Rick


Makes an interesting abstract from the water and ice on the Mississippi River. Natural colors and tones in the scene. Good lighting, nice detail, sharp focus, good DoF, and well balanced photo and nicely composed in the frame. Overall, a very Nice Abstract Photograph, well done!

Nature can be an amazing artist! Those really are interesting patterns, and I could probably have fun playing around with that image too. Abstract patterns make a great starting point for creating something even more unusual.

Grace,
A beautiful & interesting picture of the frozen mighty Mississippi River with the snowflakes clinging to the ridges along the cracks making artistic & interesting patterns. Artistic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

This is such an interesting image, rather abstract looking. I have never seen frozen ice waves. I like the blue colour mixed with the white. Your image is sharp and clear and well lit, a pleasure to view.

    Thank you! I had not seen this before either. Nature is pretty amazing :)
Comment from Charlie Newman


You have a good eye Grace. The patterns in this photo are random and interesting as they have been created by nature. The varying degrees of thickness and the variety of textures also add another degree of interest. White balance and lighting are well managed to make the details stand out clearly and accentuate in a natural setting.
