Daughter - This photo is so pretty! It's got lots of colours and bubbles and lines. We cracked the ice by walking on it. I've never seen frozen bubbles before.

Dad - Photography is a treasure hunt to me, there's always a good photo wherever you are, you just have to find it. Often it's something a little hidden, a refelction, some aspect of life we have become habituated to and don't 'see' any longer. It may be the compositional elements all balance one another. It maybe some humour hiding in plain sight. I've always had a penchent for natural abstract, beautiful and as real as the grass under the ice. I like the mystery created by the obscuring bubbles, frozen in time, offset by the rectalinear cracks hurtling through the image.

Daughter - I liked these trees because they were were so clear against the blue sky. And the old birds nests looked cold. Also I could see some more flooding on the other side. I loved this day with Mummy and Daddy and Rosie.

Dad - Aisulu wandered off on her own like a flaneur amongst the evident physics and biology of acres of flooded fields turned to ice sheets. There was no one around but us. I like the photo because it shows the classic starting point for someone learning photography and in its own way brings back the day more so than my attempt at beauty.
