Another ice picture from my little macro ice series. This one is even closer in on the ice then the last one. The lens was practically touching the ice... well as close as I could get it to focus that is.

These are really hard to appreciate fully in this format (tiny on the website). I provided a couple of close up crops from the main picture. The detail on these is amazing... well at least to me : ). That is what is so cool about real life; the closer you look, the more there is to see.

Nature really is an amazingly complex system. These images came out with very little color. I tinted them to remove them from reality a little bit. It was my intent to do so as I took them. Where I could, I pulled out the color that was there, which was in some cases amazing.

There is still more of these to come. I will post another in the next few days. Have to space my photos out a bit, I am running low. : )

Just thought I would add another note: I actually like the cropping of the two bubbles better than the whole photo. It is a stronger more surreal image. It looks like an illustration about cell division.
