Pale pink carnation frozen in water, in my freezer.

it looks like you have a very big freezer Mary, this ice formation is so intricate and detailed, in the first view it looks like a large ice sculpture, but then I see you have taken this at 8mm, which makes me go back for another look. It is brilliant and intruiquing and a masterpiece, well done!

At first glance it looks like an ice cave, but then you see the air bubbles and the structure of the carnation, beautiful!

Another majical shot Mary - with just a hint of colour to capture the imagination, going to miss this series when you stop!!! ( or perhaps you won't ) love it.

Exactly why are you freezing carnations Mary? Lovely abstract, would never have guessed what it was.

@grouser: I freeze other flowers, daisy, rose, daffodil etc,etc.,just to see what i can find to 'shoot'. It' great fun and lots of surprises. You should try it sometime.

That is really cool! No pun intended. The light on and in the ice is magical.

Incredibly creative and such a beautiful result. I never would have guessed that this was a frozen flower. I can't wait to give it a try - thanks for such a fun idea. Now my husband is really going to think I've lost it when I start freezing flowers and things...

Amazing. What a display of imagination here. I did this once, but I used one of my daughter's old Barbie dolls. : )

the texture you get freezing all this stuff is great. It would make great stock images for digital artists.
