I get together once a month with a few photographers to share photos and critique them. We've been working with frozen flower images over the last few months. I had been sheepishly pulling pictures from my archives to participate in the last two months' discussion. But I was determined to get off a few new shots for this week's meeting. Traditionally these pictures are accomplished by placing the flower in a shallow container and freezing it in the refrigerator's freezer section. But I don't have a lot of room in my freezer so I decided to experiment with one leaf and a small plastic bag. When I was ready to photograph the leaf, I cut a seam down the side of the bag and after getting the block of ice out of the bag, I put it in the kitchen sink to photograph it. I think it produced an interesting semi-abstract- but I wouldn't hang it on a gallery wall.
Perhaps there was too much water in the bag. Maybe next time put some water in the bag and freeze it, put the leaf on top, then add just a tad more water.
@randystreat Thanks Kathy- actually, the more I look at it, the more I like it, so I'm pleased with the outcome; I just wouldn't hang it on the wall (o;

Thank you Diana, Issi, Katy, Marilyn, Harry, Ferry and Kathy! I received some really nice feedback from my fellow photographers today on this shot.
