Shot out of the bounds of the shooting interval, but a very nice picture. The ice certainly is extreme, I wouldn't want to have to walk on it!

2.8 macro? looks like a box full of tiny vials, very nifty

I was walking back to the train station from jury duty yesterday, and that whole part of the city (Dallas, Texas) looked like this. I kept thinking that I needed to take pictures. Looks like you've beaten me to it.

Fascinating subject, and genuinely "abstract". (If you'd missed out the description, I wonder who would have guessed what it was?) Can I suggest that the scan has come out a little flat? I haven't seen the original, but the posted image looks to be a little lacking in contrast. Whan I saved it locally, and did an "auto levels" adjustment in Photoshop, the resulting image was much punchier and, I think, more effective.
