Hello Markus,
A very fine piece of close up on ice surface!
the sharpness on the pattern and texturs is awesome and beautiful! so many of us will let this sort of beauty from nature passing by, but not you! much appreciated for the sharing!
best regards to you and family

Hi Markus!

Very interesting shapes, with beautiful clearance. Looks like a big leaf. Maybe I wouldn't stand on it to take the shot...
The warm colors are nice too. Oh, and the bubbles, they are fine also.

This is (in my eyes too) a wonderful image. I love the patterns and the nice neutral tones beneath the ice. Good eye, nice work, and thanks for sharing.

Hola Markus, interesante toma que a primera vista nos recuerda las cristaleras góticas de las eternas catedrales, aunque está efímera y pasajera que como nos dices, al final se irá ...
Originalidad como en tus últimas tomas y un buen aptrovechamiento de los pocos elementos que tenías.
Buena semana: Josep Ignasi

hallo Markus,
Ein kleines Kunstwerk hast Du hier geschaffen. Schön die Farben, die Transparenz, die Komposition. Das Bild lässt uns in eine Fantasiewelt tauchen. Sehe ich doch nicht einen speienden Fisch oder gar ein zerbrochenes Herz..ein "ephemeres" Glasfenster der Natur, eine halb-offene Tür in eine andere Welt.
hab herzlichen Dank
Liebe Grüsse
Anne

Hi Markus

Another great abstract shot from you my friend!
This definitely tickles my imagination again, but without any difficulty i saw a heart here...so if you ever want another title for it, you can always call it the broken heart :) If you're curious where it is, i'll send you a photo :)

That aside, i really like the interesting mosaic created by all the cracks. The pattern of colors beyond is also mysterious and adds to the attraction of the image.
Nicely done, my friend!

Bravo and TFS

Hello Markus,
Beautiful capture of this very elaborate pattern in the ice! Very well chosen and I like the sharpness and the colours as well as the bubbles in the ice. I really miss these kind of sights this year - no ice here at all!
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hello Markus,
We can have some great opportunities for captures like this when the daytime temperature is above 0C while the night temp goes below!
Nature's own artwork is always impressive, with amazing shapes and colours...
This is well framed with sharp fine details!
Greetings,

Bonsoir Markus
Un grand bravo pour l'effet de cette photo.
L'impression rendue est difficile à décrire, on sent le lisse de la glace, et le rugueux des fêlures.
Les couleurs sont sirupeuses...
Merci
Amicalement
Laurent

Cette image évoque un vitrail fragile. Vu par tes yeux il est clair que tu vas nous rapporter de superbes photos de nature abstraites. Ton travail est fantastique, Markus, j'aime beaucoup. Que de détails dans cette photo, on peut s'y perdre pendant des heures, bravo!

Hi Markus,
your style is really starting to get very distinctive and well honed. Sharp detail and clarity are an absolute must for this kind of shot and you have done both perfectly here. Framing is excellent and exposure very good too - great job.

Bonjour Markus,
À chaque fois que je visite ton portfolio, c'est toujours avec beaucoup de plaisir de découvrir des photos toutes plus originales les unes que les autres. Tu possède ce sens artistique qui te fait créer des œuvres d'arts à partir de manifestations naturelles qui, pour la plupart d’entre nous, passeraient inaperçues. C'est un don précieux que tu possède et merci de le partager avec nous :)

What is this mirror? Was it made by trolls or dvarves? Or maybe it is the main mirror on Snow Kingdom and is is broken bacause the winter is over? I don't know. But I like it...
