Looking for leaves in the frozen pond, I came across this one and got a surprise when I turned the polariser - the ice bubble turned into a colourful spectrum depending on the position of the filter. Although I used the 70-200 zoom at first, I wasn't convinced I was getting the best DOF available, so switched to the 90 TSE and added the 1.4 converter to pull the leaf in closer.
