### Description

An ice storm hit a couple days ago and left everything enshrouded with a layer of ice. The ground is like an ice rink…tricky walking and driving. Well worth taking my chances in order to experience the exquisite beauty, though. Too bad about the unfortunate damage to property and the power outages.

### Specific Feedback

All comments appreciated.

### Technical Details

1/80 sec. @ f9.0, ISO 320  
Olympus OM-5, 12-200 lens

@Chris_Baird, how I envy you! We’re still waiting for snow. 🙁

This image is beautiful! I’m glad you “braved the storm” to capture it. The composition and high key effect work well — my eye roams through and around the image almost non-stop. Lovely!

@Susanna_Euston Thanks. I’m glad it appeals to you. I hope we get some snow this year and you as well. The ice may be beautiful but is not the same as snow.
