Nice abstract...it really does fit the theme LINES. I like your focus here. The subject isnt anything that would demand attention, but in a lines challenge, filled with abstracts, you might of had a shot here. I like the frozen rain on the branches..thats one of the most artistic natural things to shoot. Of course, Blue color always goes well with ICE. I think you did a great job here with your bokeh style background..goes well with the ice...good job
you know, this is a really interesting image. i, however, can't decide if i like it or really like it. colour and focus are good as well as the subject. but i think that it is the aspect that its 'just' frozen ice on a tree, not something more special. all in all, good technical aspects but not enough 'umph'. 7
Ooh, cool, and great texture. Good background blur. Just due to the nature of ice photography, though, the foreground doesn't feel completly focused, and that bothers my eye. 7
this is a great idea, it just seems a bit over complicated and needed to be a lot simpler in presentation or it could have been a winner. love the blue colouration in the background which really enhanceds the ice. good luck
