Anatomy of an Icicle
by dawn

This is a macro of the tip of an icicle as it dripped away. It was melting quite furiously. The original is a bit paler, and I exaggerate the inner structure somewhat with sharpening in PS, but essentially it remains as shot. I found it a bit fascinating that it almost resembled an xray of a human limb. It's weird, it's different, but I'm not sure it's interesting enough except to me.

Beautiful abstract. Your lighting is superb.

I think it's gorgeous. The bottom almost looks like smoke slowly solidifying as you move up the composition.

Interestingness should matter to you! This is cool. I've never looked inside an icycle before, you do such marvelous things with light. Kathie
