Mark, thanks for taking the time to look and comment. As you have seen, there's more going on in this image than "Ice Flower" making it less abstract. That was one reason to post this to see how others reacted to this more complicated image. I used "macro" in the title to throw viewers off a little. To me that's part of an abstract, trying to remove the photographed item from its context. I have no idea the actual size of the viewed scene but I can tell you that I was on a boat at least several hundred feet from the ice and used a 300mm with a 1.4 xs convertor.
