I was looking to post some kind of scenic, since every one else was going abstract, but Bill goaded me into keeping with the crowd sourced abstract concept. 
Here’s an ice abstract from my pond last Feb. This is a 9 shot stack (ice holds nice and still…sometimes…) using the ice to distort the shapes in the hardy lily leaves that were in the water
5D3, 100-400@ 349, 1/6 s, f/13, iso 200, tripod and polarizer
This is an excellent shot, Mark. I am enjoying the shapes and colors in this. This is sure a nice category in the WC. I’m not sure I have any to submit to it, but I sure am enjoying the shots.
I am not sure what that yellow vein all over the image but I love it, Mark. Super!
Such interesting texture and color. The ice highlights are a lovely blue, but there are so many warm tones, too. It’s a nice contrast.
Just had to keep up with the Jones’ eh? Well, a mighty fine entry. Lots of intrigue here as one tries to figure out what lies beneath… great, warm colors, random shapes and lines - all anchored with the very fine detail and patterns in the ice.
Beautifully captured and executed.

Mark, I knew it would only be a matter of time until we’d see one of these beautiful ice scenes you’ve posted over time. Excellent overall process with the 9 image stack too…
A lot of fascinating shapes, colors and textures in this abstract ice shot, Mark! It would make a fun puzzle also!
Adhika, those are the long stems of the lilies, the red/orange/yellow blobs are the fresh leaves that grow in cold water (they’re green in warmer, summer water) and the brownish blobs are the old, decaying leaves.
Mark: Your ice abstracts from your pond are always a delight. Almost makes me want to live somewhere cold . . . almost 
. Beautiful image. >=))>
