This one is definitely best viewed full screen. These are natural sparkles off the calcium calcite inside the Indian Echo Caverns in PA. I actually managed to get this one as realistic as possible. Hope you all like it!

Looks like colored glue pouring off the walls. The calcium really does sparkle...catches the light very well. Well done.

Great job on this one Ami. Shots taken from down inside caverns are tough to do and you did an amazing job. Great clarity and amazing detail.

Looks like the formations are decorated with white Christmas lights. Interesting picture, and very well presented.

Quite an impressive shot, Ami, considering that it was taken inside the caverns. Nice post well captured!

Marvelous capture Ami, love it & you sure did catch the sparkle. That cave looks like it's really beautiful inside, is it big?

I love going in caves, have you been to Mamouth Cave in Kentucky, it's big.

You did a great job on this one Ami, I would think it would be a hard shot, but you pulled it off. =^..^= sandi ♪

And here I thought you'd gone back to snow scenes! Or, at minimum, you got lost back stage and couldn't find your way out from under the Angel Wings. Seriously, this is a really nice picture! I've seen these sparkles in caves before, but never so many or so beautiful.

My, that's beautiful! I thought it was snow and ice! Just shows that crystals have similar qualities I guess. Very nicely captured in the low light and none of the white was overexposed. Well done.
