Frozen water point, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

I was driving my car when I saw that huge frozen pillar of ice. It has an approximate height of 25 feet. The source runs permanently but water freezes as it moves away from the source. The cold temperature supports this kind of phenomenal shape.

Je conduisais lorsque j'ai aperçu le long de la route cette source d'eau gelée. Elle a une hauteur approximative de 8 mètres. La source coule en permanence mais l'eau gèle à mesure qu'elle s'éloigne de la source. La température froide favorise ce genre de phénomène.

Bonsoir Denis!
Belle prise de vue de ce joli monument de glace naturelle qui s'élève dans un magnifique ciel bleu. Excellent éclairage et les contrastes entre l'ombre et la lumière sont merveilleux. l'arrêt en valait la peine.
Cordiales Salutations,
Emilius

Salut Denis
Après avoir lu le texte, je ne pouvais m'imaginer que l'eau pouvait geler dans cette position malgré la pression avec laquelle elle émane du sol. Un monument à l'hiver.

Hi Denis,

It is an amazing scene ..you have captured it with great composition and control of the colors .. it feels over sharpened on the edges of the snow and ice .. also see the slight halo around the column from the sharpening ... very nice.

take care,

John

bonjour une otre fois, denis

wow... this is quite a find. nature sculpturing at it's best. excellent light and brightness in your foto and i love your composition too here. i guess, i would be tempted to come back to this one again and again: try out all different lights the nature has to offer here. but your shot is very impressive as is. i would say - a very trek-earthy picture.

mes compliments y merci pour le partage, mon ami

Hi Denis
What an unusual shot, The exposure is well handled and I like the bit of cloud on the right. Nice framing too.

Hey Denis,

A fine capture and a good eye.
Nicely composed. The clarity is fine, so are the tones of white, its just something you dont see every day. :)

See you around.

Salut Denis,
Truly a n artistic sculpture of nature, isn't it?
The simplistic compo is very adequate to the theme.
What are those stains on the sky?
Amicalement, José.

Hi Denis,
What a wonderful display of the dramatic forces of nature. The ice formation is seen in wonderful details and sharpness that contrast beautifully with the vivid blue sky. Very effective framing and I really like the view of the valley.
Regards, Tom

Hi Denis,

stunning view! EXTRAORDINARY natural sculpture. Not easy to manage the light I suppose.

Very well done!

Bonjour Denis,

Cette forme glacée sous un beau ciel bleuressemble à un geyser d'eau froide qui a gelé. Le sujet est bien cadré. La prise de vue donne de la profondeur à la photo. Il y a un bon contraste entyre les photos. Bonne journée.

This is amazing, Denis. So very statuesque, almost like intentionally abstract art by a celestial sculptor. Very crisp and clear, nice work with the point of view. The whole image shouts cold...and majestic!

Love it,
Jim

Hello Denis,

I don't think I have ever seen anything quite like it. It reminds me of something that you would expect to see on a glacier, but this looks more rectangular and solid while glacial ice is irregular. I think I can picture the formation of this column, the spouting water slowly froze. At first glace I thought it were a pine tree covered in frost. It is a great shot indeed. My only concern is that there is a little over sharpening along the point where the darker background meets the lighter snow. It is not a major thing, just compression. Looks great.

Hi Denis,
Wow, I find this really very impressive to see, such a huge column of ice. The blue sky is a beautiful background with a small clouds as a nice detail on the right hand side. Great composition too, thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Bonjour Denis,
une photo qui est loin d'être banale, j'aime beaucoup, un phénomène interessant. En Belgique, où j'habite, la température est à peine deescendue sous zéro cette année et encore vraiment très peu de temps.
Beaucoup de couleurs froides dans cette photo pour renforcer la froideur du climat et de la profondeur avec cet arrière plan éloigné.
Amicalement de Liège.
Daniel.

Belle photo de cette source d' eau gelée de toute beauté, quel travail du froid sur cette eau en mouvement.
Le ciel bleu est un très jolis fond d' écran pour le principal sujet de votre photo.

Amitiés Thomas
Je reviens

Bonjour Denis
C'est bien la première fois que je vois ce genre de phénomène, une chute à l'envers.

Belle couleur et netteté.Tu maitrise bien le coté exposition au soleil l'hiver.

Une merveille de la nature pour ceux qui peuvent l'apprécier.Le fil électrique ne me dérange pas du tout.
Le geyser est bien placé dans la composition.

Bon WE
Charles

Hi Denis
I like the composition; an example of the rule of third and the subject is quite interesting as well. In my opinion, however, you have made too much noise reduction so the formation has lost its detail and the white edging around it is quite apparent.
