I found this crack in the ice at Abraham Lake in January and couldn't resist sticking my lens in it! This is a focus stack. Any thoughts are welcome.

You have focus stacking down. I am wondering how a vertical that concentrated the crack would work? Just an idea that popped into my head, abstracts are sort of out of my comfort zone.
Hey Kyle,
That is really cool looking. I like this blue ice!
And any photos you have of Abraham Lake with the bubbles and cracks, maybe you can post them off an on in the coming months. I am planning on going up there in January to shoot, and your photos are always inspiring!

Absolutely - I'll throw a few (not all are particularly great) into the landscape forum in a few days

Fascinating scene - and a focus stack is likely the only way to get that much depth in the scene to see the subject. Is water at the bottom actually running or is that just an illusion of sorts?

It's an illusion. At -20° water is as hard as a rock!

Only if it's not running. I have images of water running in the Logan River in Utah when the outside temps were at -25. For the record there were tons of ice along the river edges, rocks, and everything else but there was a flow of water still in the middle. That was a lot more water flow than your image however. Any water that stopped froze almost instantly.
I will be honest here - I am not a fan of that kind of cold and experiencing it contributed to my desire to live somewhere warmer.

I'm a Californian. Cold is something I just visit. I'm always happy to come home to 50° winter days.
Intriguing image. Like it a lot
