Image Description

I had a few free hours on this day, so I walked to a nearby beach in Downtown Chicago. There, I found some great patterns in the ice along the shore of Lake Michigan. This section of crisis-crossed shards grabbed my attention right away. It is a small section shot up close to fill the frame.

Todd, the photos on your website are amazing! This one isn’t too shabby either. :wink:

The cooler WB works well here, though the 1000 pix file renders quite small on my 3840 x 2400 screen. I’d love to see it bigger!

Thank you. I appreciate it. It seems NPN compressed me because the original upload was too big. I think I will try to repost it all together. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Make sure you save it @ 72 dpi.

This is interesting. Thank you for posting. I have so many questions, between posting for social media, my personal website, NPN (or image critique in general), there are so many options.

This is good to know! I had accidently saved a file at 240 dpi and couldn’t figure out why it kept posting much smaller. Once I saved it at 72 dpi it went fine.

I’ll give 144 dpi a try.

Todd, this is a good look at the details of these ice crystals. You’ve got eough dof to show them all sharply. My personal taste is in a view like this is to reduce the blue, as I feel like the ice crystals do a good job of looking cold…but that’s personal.
