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.

Edited in Lightroom, with a slight color temperature adjustment to “cool” the ice and give it a cold blue feeling.
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.
“As a general guideline, you want to have at least 72 PPI for web images, but 144 PPI is better for devices with Retina screens to ensure crisp, high-quality visuals.”
I have a retina display, and usually post at 144 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.

Hi Todd - there is lots of neat stuff on this site, and lots to explore.
This will help a lot about the basics etc : FAQ / Guidelines
Then, if you have other questions, etc - ask away!
Gald you’re herre…
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.
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.
