Artist's Comments
The Ice Storm that crippled much of Southwest Missouri and Eastern Oklahoma in January 2007.
Large parts of Springfield, MO were without electricity for over 3 weeks. This was one of the largest local disasters in my lifetime. Comments
 A bit more depth of field would work well here but good shot nonetheless.
-- There are two essential basic strategies for success in photography: 1. Never reveal all you know. I barely knew what depth of field was when I took this
 incidentally though, I tend to like really shallow DOF photographs. The extreme shallow depth of field is one thing I kinda miss about my Powershot. I think I need a new lens. -- much much much much much much much more yeah, shallow DOF is great for macros and such.
i guess if you went for a more journalistic style, you'd need more DOF. what camera do you have now? -- There are two essential basic strategies for success in photography: 1. Never reveal all you know. Rebel XTi with a 17-85MM USM zoom ... I'm wanting an upgrade but it'll be a while before I get some bills paid off!
-- much much much much much much much more i have the XTi with Tamron f/2.8 24-75mm
 Excellent camera, but yes, there are better ones up the ladder -- There are two essential basic strategies for success in photography: 1. Never reveal all you know. I think I'll be upgrading lenses before cameras, though I'm tempted to jump ship to Nikon before I invest too much in canon lenses
-- much much much much much much much more canon is better in the high-end lenses (+2k), while Nikon seems to do a great job with the sub 1.5k cameras.
-- There are two essential basic strategies for success in photography: 1. Never reveal all you know.  I read through =feline643's critique on this piece a few times, and she's basically said it all for me - and much better than I could, too. I agree with her particularly when she points out:
"Admittedly, this is the kind of thing that many (myself included) have attempted. Thus, the originality is a little low, but, the bubbles being seen clearly in the ice, as well as the pine needles, makes the image astounding!" It's a successful fusion of nature photography, photojournalism, and macro photography - successful, because the results are so interesting. I would like to see this on my wall.   When I saw this in your gallery, I was excited, because I thought someone had actually snapped a picture of my youth. They used to leave the sprinklers on overnight, even in the winter (only the stars know why,)and we'd get icicles like these on the trees and grass. I'm sorry to hear these were formed by less comical events, but I do like this image.

Critiques
Admittedly, this is the kind of thing that many (myself included) have attempted. Thus, the originality is a little low, but, the bubbles being seen clearly in the ice, as well as the pine needles, makes the image astounding!
In my humble opinion, I would like to see the levels tweaked a little, possibly contrast as well, purely, to show off the details in the image a little more, and to push the DOF to a higher level.
Otherwise, the focus is superb, and the overall image is stunning!
