MacGregor, This is an interesting composition. I like the detail in the icicles contrasted with the smooth water. I also like the slight hint of red in the branch. I'm wondering how this would have looked without the snow in the bottom left. I like that it helps define the diagonal of the creek. However, it appears a tad overexposed.

 

A very creative and ambitious shot!

The original file isn't blown out...it's my questionable photoshop technique that pushed it that far to the right. I tried masking back the contrast there and used an overlay layer but it didn't work. I should go back to PS and see if I can bring that area down a little.

 

Ambitious...you aren't kidding, I was standing on thin ice and I'm a guy who eats too much. The cracking noise was a little distracting. I had little choice in composition here...when I tried getting an angle that took out the lower snow I went through the ice. Wonder how the b/w large format will turn out. Thanks for your comments!

Wow MacGregor...that would have scared the heck out of me. Of course, I'm from Florida and have had only brief experiences with snow and ice. I look forward to the LF version!

it's between six inches and a foot in depth. Pools go to maybe two feet. Current isn't bad. I fish it all the time and know this spot well...it's five minutes by dirt road from my driveway. Sooooooo....I'm acting a little braver than I really am. I didn't risk my life here, but I did risk a pretty nice pair of LL Bean boots.

The arrangement of elements and tonalities are wonderful.

Preciosa imagen,,, con un estilo especial,,, un cordial saludo.

I rated this yesterday but am commenting now. I showed this shot to others..this is fantastic.

I really like looking at your whole portfolio and congrats on getting your feet wet! Really reminds you of the simple comforts of dry warm feet.Just dont drop that camera!!!

Love this. Clean & sharp with a nice background. Wonderfully done.
