A tribute to bees. After it rains, containers fill with water and bees drown trying to collect water for the hive. This bee was in a white bucket and it doesn't look much like ice, but I will work on the idea and someday do a more fitting tribute.

Is this a global warming message or am I just missing the ice!!

I like the sad symbolism here; it's a very well composed and executed shot. Can't say without the challenge title that I'd see this as ice, though. Poor little guy. :-(

I really like this shot but I'm having a hard time getting the challenge from it.

Love it! So simple yet it so great. One of my favorites in this challenge. I love the reflection of the bee in the ice. I feel that cropping a bit off the top might strengthen the composition a bit but still a strong image, nicely done!

I don't see "ice" in this picture. It looks like the insect is in a pool of milk.

If it's frozen in ice that needs to be brougt out more. Looks more like a dead bee in a bowl of milk. Sorry. Good quality though.

What an amazing shot! Did you just happen upon him, or...?
