I too, am fascinated by the cracks in the ice. And I’d like a face transplant with skin like Charlottes.

how do you get the effect used on “dysonDSC07751-Edit.jpg”?
what is that called? it looks really intriguing!
can you email me?
great site. I was drawn here for the subaru manuals, and stayed for the interesting photos!
a good portion of that effect was done with a local contrast-enhancing photoshop plugin called lusicart. it is not cheap. some of what that filter does can be replicated in other, much less expensive ways.
i also used a noise reduction filter, since the local contrast enhancement tends to increase noise levels.
finally you need a wide angle lens, a crazy, attractive wife/model, a brand new dyson, and a motorcycle helmet. 😉

Thanks for the reply Ken. I am experimenting with it now.
