 This photo illustrates the troubles that a dogwood bud goes through during winter here in Ohio. It is amazing they survive being encased in Ice.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Reading your own comments this photo would meet the challenge to me. But because those aren't visible during voting many didn't get the connection. Maybe a different title than the one you had as Beauty in Ice doesn't convey despair. I can't think of another title that may worked though. This is a nice macro shot of the Dogwood bud. There is some noise pixelation in the photo. If you can, try a program like Neatimage to clean it up a bit. Sorry that this didn't do better and I hope you'll still participate in future challenges.

Oh man, this is so far over my head I have NO idea what you were going for in the Dispair catagory. It's a kinda neat shot of the ice, but ..... 4 Swash

This is an interesting macro shot, but I can't seem to make the connection between this photo and the theme of 'despair'... - setzler

Intriguing . . . what is it? I think I'm kinda dense today.

I don't see any despair in this photo.

Wow, _very_ low JPEG quality, and it's hard to make out what it really is, but not altogether bad

I see the beauty; I don't feel the despair. (I'd love to see the outtakes).

I don't really get a feeling of despair looking at this. I just think the ice will melt, and whatever is inside will escape.
