I have been wanting to photograph some icicles since this winter season began but I hadn't found the right specimens yet..'til I saw these beauties hanging on the front of my house today. I love the sun peeking from behind and the reflection that it is causing on the snow covered roof. Oh and of course the bokeh (which I enhanced in my edited shot) and the sunflare, which are 2 of my favorite things. And I super duper love the fact that it is getting increasingly warm outside (THANK GOODNESS!) which is causing everything to slowly melt away and added another element to the photograph that I love..the water droplets coming down from the roof!

I started in CS5 (wooo hooo, I finally upgraded from Photoshop 7!) and adjusted the tones, color and contrast. Then I added a bokeh texture that I found for free HERE. I brought it into Picnik next, where I added a "1960's color" effect (faded it a bit), the text and the frame.

I love this edit!
What a great edit and gorgeous photo! I like that you were able to capture a few of your favorite things.
Great capture and edit! Love the sun flare.
I hate snow. I hate ice. Call me the winter grinch...
but there is something about icicles in the blazing sunshine that tickles my heart. What a wonderful edit. Just plain gorgeous!
