Yes, nature can create enjoyable and interesting patterns from time to time as is the case here in your fine and full composition. It looks pretty symmetrical to me! Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely done!

Interesting shot of a frozen river. Another wonder creations of Mother Nature. You have shot it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

A very nice work of art by mother nature. I like this image with its crisp detail and beautiful color palette. The pattern in the ice is fantastic.

I love this. I've never seen anything like it. The idea of frozen waves is very poetic to me. We usually associate waves with movement, but here, they have been stopped in their tracks. The pattern they make is beautiful. The colord completely capture the temperature. Nature never ceases to amaze me, not does your artistry!

Hi Grace!
What can I say about this intriguingly Cold looking and ( to me anyway ) Frightening picture?
Why,I'll say that it's Outstanding! : D
It's genuinely interesting ( even to someone like me who's been plowing snow all day! ) and a really 'Good Show' of a picture!

    Lol! Thank you kindly for the six stars Sean! Sounds like a busy day. I hope you were profiting from the plowing.

    It was just DISCOURAGING,Grace! : )
    At least we only got a foot of snow rather than three feet like they got just south of here! ; 0

    Haha! I'm glad it wasn't three feet too! It's too much already :)

This looks like a work of abstract art! You have a good artistic eye to see a pattern like this and capture it. The cool shades of blue are lovely.

Holy Mississippi ice quilt Little Greenie! The only DOWNFALL about today was you could not go to the zoo with me!
But looks like while I was watching Fiona you were on the Titanic with your Tonka!
Brrrrrr.
Very cool and unique capture showing a nice abstract pattern.
Fine camera techs ;)
Nice done GEM 2 ;)

Comment from hchriste


well done, good exposure, good focus, good contrast, interesting subject matter, the Mississippi at my house freezes when the temps are very low, might freeze for a day then it is gone, well done

    Thank you! The center of the river here is still flowing, it's just the edges that have the ice :)

Grace, this is an exceptional piece and I can see this huge almost like an abstract on the wall behind the sofa. :)

Beautiful tones of blues and excellent clarity and vision to see this.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


WOW or better said gosh as that looks really icy - when a river stops running its getting tough
excellent composition well adapted to the ice formation - a natural abstract in perfect shades and patterns - interesting how the dark lines are forming
perfect sharpness, contrast and lighting - sending you some warm energy - well done, simple and effective
