The Image: I must admit, a great image I saw in a Photography Magazine from the UK inspired this shot. I froze the fish in one of the freezer trays in the fridge and I was hoping that the other three fish would be visible as if there was a chase. It was not to be.
I like the cracks. I wish the ice behaved differently.
The Edit: Mainly levels and colour balance. USM, Noise Reduction. I then applied a layer of black and white with a slight blue tint and pulled back the opacity. I wanted to make this look really cold.
Prediction: ...not sure...
Post: I said I did not know how this would go...it went OK I guess. I know I shouldn't whinge, but boy I wish this was Advanced Editing. This image has much more potential under that ruleset.
