Hi Nicole,
It's nice to hear from you again. Listen I want to thank you for commenting on my Squirrel shot, Now I have to tell you how much I love this image. The color of the ice is like nothing I've ever seen before. The compostion is good too but the action of catching the ice falling in the water really tells the whole story.
Very nice capture and perfect timing!!!Congrats.7+
Thanks again,
Bill
