This shot I feel is one of the best ice crytals I captured this winter so far. A ice covered tree standing tall on the edge of the woods. I just love crystal photography as you never know what shows up on the glass as the tremperature changes and the crystals get altered constantly as well. This tree shaped crystal lasted about an hour before it was nothing more than a mere blob on the window.

Yes you may.
But as you noticed I have my copyright on it.
All I ask is that you do not edit it nor sell it.
I have this as my desktop right now as well.

You have such a great eye to catch all the beautiful crystal photographs. I still say you need to get a bunch of picutres together that you have taken and put them together in book form.
I also see the tree but I also can see this picture as being in a very deep see in the beautiful blue waters, just need some little fish swimming around there.

That is really beautiful! I live in VT where there is a ton of snow like 7 or 8 months out of the year and my favorite thing to do during a storm is to go out with my son and a couple pieces of black construction paper so we can catch the snowflakes and see all the different shapes, we try to draw them out later but they're never the same.

Hey grandpa bob! This is truly a beauty and surely one of the
best yet! It does definitely look like a tree standing in
the woods or somewhere all covered in ice! It is beautiful
to look at! I'd bet if you put all these amazing ice crystal
photos together in a book you could have them printed and
sell them! They are amazing and exquisite to look at! I know
that I would buy a copy and probably alot of other mylotters
would too! I'm serious! These photos of the ice crystals you
take are so beautiful! I'm sure they would make a nice book
for coffee tables everywhere!

Thanks bunches.
I love this one the best so far after a couple years of many, many shots.
I love the darkness of the blue as well.
It was sunny outside and that was what made the bright blue.

That one is absolutely beautiful. I noticed that someone asked you about using it as wallpaper on their computer. I think that would be absolutely beautiful. I would like to do it also but don't know how to download it for that purpose. I am usually stuck with whatever my computer comes with. One of these days I will get to be as smart as everyone else, or not, I guess my strength lies in other areas.

This really is the best ice-cyrstal shot you have taken. I really love this one. It is like a scene from a fantasy story. It really is beautiful.
It might have faded away Bob but you have it captured on camera for ever. Great photograph.

That is really beautiful. I live in the burbs. No woods here. For that matter haven't had a real snowfall yet. And the only ice we got canceled school and work. Black ice caused accidents all over. Would have been nice to at least have something nice to look at!
