Ice

I found this interesting ice pattern in one of my fish ponds.

wow, thats neat..!

that's a cool capture (literally and figuratively)

Neat effect, but next time I'd go with a smaller aperture. Get more of it in focus.

Yeah,
I know that the photo is not as good as it could have been.

I had, without realizing it, gone outside with an almost full flash card (only 4 shots left) in the camera and by the time I went in to get an empty one and got back to the pond the sun had rised over the trees. I took more photos of the ice, but with the bright light, I could not capture the same look of the ice pattern.

That is pretty cool! Did you freeze while taking that lol

Amazing shot. Those ice formations at the front look like swords.

nice capture, sure has a cool look to it.

Ice does some amazing things... I think this sort of thing happens when the temp is just right... usually during a slow freeze before it is too thick. Notice how there are no air bubbles/frosty white ice.

What an interesting pattern it made! The leaf in the center of the shot is pleasant to look at as well.

Thanks for the kind comments. I wish that I had gotten a better photo of it. I had never seen that particular ice pattern before on the pond.
