Another shot from Glen Cove
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

I can see it shaking from here. Poor thing, I'd take it indoors and give it a blanket and a mug of hot chocolate.
What a lovely bit of topiary, loks very stylish. A nice shot, JJ

This is so strange. For a minutes, I thought this is a concrete structure with snow and fungus on it. After reading your title it becomes clears and someone has so artistically cut and given a beautiful design to the bush.

Oh, you use the same camera as I have. But your photos are very different from mine. Very interesting.

What a cool find. The bush seems to be shivering. Very well presented.

Judging from your lovely series of picture, Glen Cove seems to bee a special place even in the winter.
Funny shape on this bush, nice use of DOF.

These topiary shapes are always worth a photograph but this goes into another league ! Gotta love those icicles, too !

Don't they just, an incredible shot, well spotted

Craig from United Kingdom
Very nice wintery shot, I love the icicles hanging down. I think this would look very strong in B&W also. There's a very slight ghosting around the bush? Is there two layers here?
Re the tutorials, don't want to clog up you blog but I've left a reply in yesterday's comments.

That's a cool snap! Love the twisted spiral shape and the offsetting of the green by the white ice/snow.

Lynne's Somewhat Invented Life from United States
This is one of my favorites! It looks like a snake, burying his head in his coils and then getting caught in the snow. The icicles are the tears, seeping down from his sad snaky eyes.

Amazing job - it looks like a vanilla fondue. In another angle it looks like a product of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory :) This is simply fantastic.

The snow makes it look even more interesting - and cold!!
