Thanks Frank and others who have commented. Yeah Frank, it is a different perspective on winter!

I like the appearance of the ice along the branch, almost looks like mercury or molten silver. And the contrast with the sharpness of the droplet. I should have posted a full-size 16mb file, but downsized instead. So I also put in the crops in #'s 13 and 14 to show the detail in the droplet. I think what you are seeing is the tree trunks in the surround through the "lens" created by the ice. It is lighter on the bottom as there you see the sky. I also like the effect of the sun's rays around the bottom of the droplet. If I were more adept at LR or PSE manipulations I would probably try to reduce the highlight caused by the sun's glare in the ice lens, but so far have not tried any manipulation to speak of. Overall I am quite pleased with the result of what was a hand-held shot with a 200mm lens on a cold day - usually I am not that steady. stan On Dec 18, 2007, at 9:55 AM, frank theriault wrote: > On Dec 16, 2007 12:27 AM, Stan Halpin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: >> I managed to be out of town during our recent ice storm.
