Interesting Brian.

My first thoughts about this one and the previous is that the bottle appears to be defying gravity Is that good or bad, not a clue.

Do you have a small torch (or a larger one that you make some sort of paper cone to reduce the beam size) that you could shine in the bottle entrance?

Grahame, you suffer from tropicalitis. As a Canadian who lived where 2 meters of snow in 24 hours was not unheard of and -40 not uncommon I see the bottle trapped under the ice and the person trapped in the bottle.

Hmmmm a cone made out of the ever present and useful bond paper. Maybe with some tin foil which Myra can pick up when she goes shopping tomorrow, on the inside.

Nice concept.

Nice concept.

I am having fun exploring this side of photography. I imagine that there are better programs with more options than I have found so far.

You are right I do suffer from tropicalitis, 36deg C today and I was so pleased to see the sun go down tonight I went and took more pictures of it disappearing

I have forgotten what ice is other than what's in the freezer that keeps growing.

Sorry, but this does absolutely nothing for me.

Last night I was talking to a guy up in the frozen NE USA. As we were discussing freezing one’s caboose off he said: “Well hey! If you live in the tropics where it’s nice all the time, where do you go for vacation? Somewhere crappy?”

I would have laughed if I weren’t afraid of cracking my already frozen face!

Guess you had to be there!

Very creative! I immediately "got" that the bottle is in ice but the orientation seems to be that the bottle and ice are being viewed from below. Notice that the bottom piece of the frame is smaller than the other three pieces.

Exactly. I know that this type of shot is not everyones cup of tea but it is teaching me a lot that will be applied to other fields.

Not a problem John. These whimseys are much more about learning and having fun than anything else. I use them to push my limits. But you seem to have considered the original in a better light.
