For a natural frost formation, Louise, it is amazing. Well captured.
Thanks Sergio, it seems to be growing! The littles dots around it are water droplets not yet frozen. It is forming in between the double pane window that has lost its insolation.
Louise,
very pretty.
I'm not sure I would have guessed it was a naturally formed frost pattern though.
But it has been nicely captured and I like it.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks John. Here is an other one, in Black and White this time. More like a field of wild grass. This is my patio door and this second one is groowing from the button of the door. I should say was my door, the ice was a result of a defect in the construction. The installer has replaced it with a new one. No more ice in between the two panes.
very pretty. I like that it is almost three dimensional.
Thank you Trevor. I used a ring led light for macrophotography in an effort to make the details stand out. I find ice quite facinating and hard to photograph.
The first one is stupendous. Consider toning down the top left background area to match the brightness of the background in the opposite corner.
Trevor thank you for your comments and for taking the time. It is a work in progress. I seem to get better reasults with macro than with "the little bird" in the trees.![]()
Mike you make me blush. Thank you so much. There where two different areas with ice in the window. The flower, the size of a quarter, was just above my head (ok, I am petite) and the outside background included the cedar hedge directely behind and a corner of the sky at the left. The second picture is low to the ground and much larger, and the snow was piled high outside directly behind it. I showed to my friend the window in question and he could not see the ice from his angle (read his hight). I will try some post production as you recommend.![]()
Beautifully done Louise. I'll bet you could have a lot of fun with this over the winter. It looks like a great subject for some extreme close-up or macro exploration. As the frost is on a flat plane, you should be able to get some fascination close-up detail of nature's handiwork!
Very nice Louise, I Never get tired of nature's art! It looks like it is cut into the glass.
Absolutely stunning!
Fantastic pictures. The word fractal came to mind the moment I saw them. (Scroll down on the wikipedia page and you'll see a similar picture.)

Thank you Robin and Tony. It also looks like french embroidery where the repetitive patterns would correspond to the definition of fractal if I understand it correctely.
It has all been said, I could not believe it was frost.
Then when I saw it was between the panels of the double glazing I thought, Ooops, glad it is not my double glazing.
Glad you got it replaced, for warmths sake, not photographys sake.
Then when I found that it was so small, I thought wow.
Great work, especially the first one.

Beautiful photo. It really jumps off the screen. I agree with Mike about the top left corner.

Wow, these are things we will never, never see down here in Houston, Texas! Right now the temperature around my house is 72 degrees! Really wonderful images.
