Lindsey's Molten Water

Molten Water
On a recent photo assignment, students were asked to interpret the word "ice."  Most took it literally, and shot pictures of ice-which is fine, few took it step further and used the word in more of an abstract way.  Some had unexpected results, like Lindsey's above.  The "ice" in the image really isn't that noticeable, but rather what caught my eye was the molten look of the water along the edge-reminded me of melted mercury.  Just that tiny lip of the edge of the water along the rough texture of the ice was so cool (excuse the pun).  Black and white was really the way to present this image and the great variety of textures, lines and shapes here make it a wonderful image.  It's my pick for a favorite of the ice assignment.
