### Description

I shot these ice shapes the other day but couldn’t get them to work properly. I came back with a water bottle and poured water on the patterns, which made them come to life considerably and the water removed unwanted messes from the surface of the ice

### Specific Feedback

All

### Technical Details

F16 / 1/40 /iso400 /50mm

Wonderful!! (Is that what they call preprocessing? 😆)

The patterns here are gorgeous and sensuous! I love the higher contrast version but this is so wonderful that anything in between would work. I do like the burn at the bottom to keep my eye in the frame.
