An icicle experiment.

Basically, the image was converted to b/w my usual way, however, in levels, I chose the RGB colors individually and came up with the indigo blues for this one. Just a small step toward digital art.

Hope you like this one, thanks for looking.

Very nice details. Thank you Nao

Hi Mike, this looks interesting. The monochromatic scheme works well. Good effect.

the tones emphasize the coldness even more, lovely and crisp, M, (*_*)

Excellent in all regards. I like how you kept the contrast between the icicles and the background despite the same blue color. I am curious to see the b/w version. Great work. Bravo.

The one on the left looks a bit soft near the top, but what really attracts me here is the long stem that anchors the image at the bottom. Beautiful! Good conversion too, Mike! You are getting good at this!

BONJOUR MIKE!
La simplicité de cette photo est tout simplement éblouissante! Pureté, c'est le mots qui me vient tout de suite à l'esprit! C'est très agréable à regarder, et c'est formidable de voir comment tu as réussi à mélanger la dureté du froid avec la tendresse des textures et des couleurs.
MERCI A TOI!
Luci

Soooooo beautiful, Mike!
I love the blue colour and we can see so nice that the ice is still melting. Excellent work, thank you very much, bye

Hi Mike,

Sparkling photo! Excellent icicle experiment. The blue colour tones seem to enhance the detail of the ice. Makes it look razor sharp.
I really enjoy your experimentations.
Keep up the great work! :)

Hi Mike,

Your experiment turned out very well my friend, I like the way you have captured the running water and the drip just before it drops. Excellent timing and well done on the PP.

John

Hello Mike, this is beautiful. Great close-up on this dripping icicle :)

Your bg is perfect.

And your pp work enhances it very much.

Take care, Yan

This cold blue is stunningly beautiful...pure abstract beauty.

Now why did I miss this beauty before ? Heck, I'm ashamed, Mike. The backdrop with those blurred colour shifts is magnificent, it makes the picture almost painting-like.
Terrific. TFS
