WASHING DAY BLUES- ORIGINAL SHOT

This is a very long drop! But it looks as if its turned to ice? The icy blue look!

@anipi Hi Anita, thank you for your question. I thought this was the easiest way to reply to you.

The shot above is the original shot , straight from the camera before any editing. The night before was very cold, below freezing, with snow, sleet and rain, and it left lots of interesting little ice formations around the garden.
This is the washing line stretched down the garden. The background is the sky and out of focus branches.
Basically, I just got as close as i could, so I could get all three lumps in and also focus, I focused manually on the centre ice as it was easier than trying to let the camera do it.
As I was shooting into the light, I might have, ( but can't remember if I did), adjusted the exposure compensation slightly to take that into account.
Looking at how dark the line is, I don't think I did.

Loaded on to iMac and edited in iPhoto, just gently to enhance the light and colour, and then cropped a bit.

Hope this is helpful.
