Some pretty amazing sculptures... I guess I have been hiding under a rock because I didn't know they could be this intricate..


Thanks for sharing.

Hot stuff! [A] Thanks for sharing [Y]

My God. Stunning. The woman with the bird is breathtaing. I didnt know you could do that to ice with that level of detail.
Thanks! Very cool to see these sculptures.

Here's a few more... I've also found that many of these look better when converted with the 'linear' button in DPP, so I'll re-include that first one converted with linear mode.

There are still more, but many had horrible lighting conditions... half in bright sun, half in shadow, and didn't really photograph well.
