p.1 #1 · #277: Waiting to Thaw


Hi all, first time entering. Captured this budding bud frozen in ice as if it's "Waiting to Thaw" before continuing on to start it's new beginning.

Comments welcome...

Nice capture. It certainly evokes the feeling life wanting to burst out.

Very nice find. I do like. Maybe a little touching up on it to put the final tweeks, but otherwise, very nice capture and welcome to the sight. You will find some very great people up here and lots of tips to help improve your shots. Good luck.

Very interesting shot. I love how the ice has literally frozen the buds' development. Excellent work.

Best wishes,

Thanks everyone for the welcome...

Here is an updated one tweaked a little to bring up the bud more and add a little debth to the ice .... what do you think? Better?

Also, how do I replace my original entry? Do I just change the image (link) in my first post?

Thanks for all of your help...

Hi,

The edited version is better to me. A very nice shot except for the burn spot of light. And yes you can just change the link in your first post I think.

Best wishes,

Julien

I like your update Dave, very cool shot.

I'm wondering if it might look even better if you cloned out the two biggest highlights that are near the middle of the buds? (Try the clone tool with the mode set to darken.)
Just a thought.

The touchup is better and I agree with Jason. The burn spots were what I was distracted by as well. As far as replacing your entry, you have to delete your first post and repost. You basically have to start it over! Deleting the first one will delete all your comments, but that is how you will get the new pic up unfortunately.

Hmmm. I guess you don't have to delete the thread... It updated itself on the entry page... spots are gone..

Thanks 1 of 9 ...

Very nice. The concept, subject, colors are all great! We had an ice storm a year ago (rare for Texas) and I saw things like this, plants caught unaware.
