Ice Sculpture
My female goldfish thought she'd hit a glass ceiling today, but it's only a sheet of ice. Silly fish. The ice reminded me that the World Ice Art Championships are due back in Ice Park, Fairbanks, Alaska, USA, from 20 February to 28 March (title link). This brilliant Surfacing Kingfisher by Junichi Nakamura (Japan) and Suguru Kanbayashi (Canada) gained first place in last year's Single Block Classic Realistic Category and also won the Peoples Choice Award in the Realistic Category. (Note: I've changed the colour, brightness, contrast and gamma settings of Rhonda Konicki's photo.) Junichi Nakamura is a brilliant ice sculptor. In 2007 he and Peter Slavin (USA) won first prize in the Single Block Classic Realistic category with a gobsmacking preying mantis: Aiming Eyes (CLICK).

That was a great sculpture, wasn't it? How about like this:
Yes?
Hi, Terry
Thanks for the photo link. (Other readers click the Yes? to see the photo.)
It's much better than the one I found, which had a horrible orange cast. Hence all my fiddling about in XnView to improve it.
Sculpture is too realistic. It shows the talented work. Thanks for sharing.
