Glastonbury, Connecticut, USA - Cotton Hollow Preserve. One of many falls in the stream. Persistent cold weather left ice on many of the rocks hovering over the water flowing beneath. Enjoy!

An interesting looking scene Thad and nice capture. I like the water flow in the shot and the textures and colours in the lichen covered rocks.

Very well done, Thad. I love the long exposure time, the contrasts, and the colors. Super work.

Nice work, Thad. Looks like the water is moving quickly, but that belies the fact that it is really cold to which the crystalline icy patches bear witness. Nice shutter speed on this one.

It looks like you got your hands on the top notch lens again Thad. Super photography. Like the play on words in the title.
One of your very best I would say.

You got a terrific viewpoint on this Thad!...

love the lead-in with alternate contrasts between the ice and slow-mo water!

Great! All the ways, my friend. Very nice angle of shot, long exposure time and superb composition. With ice collections an unusual flow photo. Well done.

Love the point of view of this shot. Sometimes there is just nothing better than a combo of ice and water in nature. A great shot.

Merry Christmas Thad, this is a glorious shot. (Of course I'm a wee bit partial to flowing water images.) Detail in shadows and in the bright snow, lovely smoothing of the water without losing details, rich tones and perfectly offcentred composition. Love it.

Excellent work here, Thad! The rocks and water are nicely positioned within the frame for a pleasing composition, and the exposure is spot-on, creating a beautifully lit scene. I love the soft flowing water swirling around the hard, sharply detailed ice formations. A marvelous find and great winter photo!

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

What a great shot. I love the rock "islands" surrounded by lacy ice. The extra treat is the soft water flowing through the rocks. Simply wonderful.
