I wanted to look at the remnants of ice sculpture after an extreme thaw (hit mid 40s one day) followed by a very hard freeze and return to normal weather around here
I was hoping the forms would be still recognizable for whatever they had been, just squished around some. Not even close, but I had fun playing with three...
I put all three in my gallery if anyone has interest in a better quality version. This is another case where I believe the color versions more effective than B&W to suggest the coldness of ice.
I shot these in RAW and processed each image twice. First with correct WB (bright sun daylight -- what you see as "before") and then again setting the WB for fluorescent. That produced an extreme blue cast. Used layers to stack the two images in one file and changed the blend mode of the top (blue) layer to Color Burn -- played a bit with the opacity of that layer.
Critique welcome
