I think this works very well for the challenge. Very minimalist yet you can tell this is a slab of melting ice/snow. The B&W feel with the division in the center and just a hint of ? table legs ? works for me.

What exactly are we looking at? I'm having a hard time placing it.

This is a big overhang of snow that was melting and I put a black reflector behind it. I shot at too slow a speed but thought it was interesting. I was trying to get the drops and had shutter too slow, I will get a picture of the overhang of snow up hopefully tonight..

This is cool. I assumed those were drops of water that were falling. I like it a lot and I like the detail you can see in the ice.

The great advantage of not responding too quickly is that when one has no idea what one is looking at you just know someone else will be sucking their thumb and asking the question! So now I can say 'What an intriguing image Beth'. Very unusual composition too and for me it proves that sometimes the rule-of-thirds guidelines is better ignored like here.

Thanks for entering the challenge Beth. Seems not many did. You've noted some errors in taking this shot, but I think with a bit of a redo, you still have a winner. Give this a try. Reduce the highlights by about 12% to 15% and clone out all the long blurry drops. Now crop using a 3x5 horizontal format starting at the upper left corner. Finally add some high pass filtering at a 2 setting. This will leave you with a nice image showing all the details in the ice and one lone drop ready to fall on the left side.

I like the abstract quality here, Beth. keep on trying to get that group of water in suspended animation. Are you back to normal yet in your neck of the woods?

I actually really like the abstract quality in this. It took me a minute to figure out they were drops of water, but I really like the effect. I am curious to see Dale's suggestions
