water art... Sunset Stick...

Critiques appreciated...

This is quite lovely. Beautifully composed, and the yellow lighting conditions really give it a soft and elegant feel. IMHO, the stick detracts, but I don't know that you could have done anything about. The comp would have been perhaps a bit more abstract and mysterious without it. What about a curves layer and a little selective brushwork to bring up the glowing light a skosh more just along the edge of the ice? Well seen and captured. Cheers! Chris
