Description a close up of some frost/ice it was a flat piece that i picked up from the surface of some water - and turned it over and decided to look along it at the ridges and crystal shapes so to speak the title just comes from the way the shapes of the ice seems to point along all to that one point - reminded me something of a valley - though i did try to keep the focus on the central few crystals
colour all pretty much natural just used the auto-contrast in photoshop to emphasize the light and shadow

The theme includes photography showing anything our eye does not recognize normally. That means high magnification macro photography, abstract or surreal photography. Actually just anything where your photo shows the object from a different view than our eye sees it.

This is a really neat shot- especially when looking at the full view. It's such a great natural finding that you've captured.

Very beautiful perspective. I love how the ice crystals form an almost current like path while the smoother ice forms like mountain walls. Great job
