Nice, really like 3 and the last one. Just snowed here over the last weekend, got some similar shots.

Thank you guys, much appreciated!! I dont mind going out in the cold to get some pics. With that series I took a few ice chunks down the back of my shirt but oh well, it was worth it.

Nice shooting, slayer! I too like your #3 and I think your #4 is great - excellent eye finding a combination of icicles, torns, and ice "crackles".

Be careful of your backgrounds, even OOF ones. In #3, by shooting from a slightly lower vantage point, you could have eliminated the OOF branch cutting across the bottom of the frame. In #4, shooting from a lower angle again may have enabled some of the torns to be against a slightly lighter background which would have made them more prominent.

I haven't been able to make it out for any photo opps. I'm glad you have been able to take advantage of the situation :thumbsup:

Thanks for the advice loupey and for the comments! I dont even think about those things as much as I should, and I'm glad you reminded me. With OOF shots I should make a habit of evaluating the whole frame instead of just the subject thats right in front of me.

Thanks again!
