MacGregor, It looks like you're having fun with color!

I like the composition here. The dark diagonal band sets the icicles off quite nicely. I might have panned left just a bit to include more of the rock on the left (maybe). I love the texture of the rock and the varying colors of the moss and lichen growing on it. I'm wondering if it was really that red/magenta. I altered the color balance a little. Hope you don't mind.

Thanks for the color correcting job there. I think your's looks more accurate. There is some red to these lava rocks, but just a touch. I need to go back over my little lesson on color correction because I've done so little of it.

Can't remember why I didn't pan a little further left. It would make sense. I may have been more focused on positioning the icicles. In composing, I was able to see the background rocks that fall to black here, and so perhaps the composition looked less lopsided to the naked eye. A case of not visualising the final image properly.

I wonder if the icicles are back. We have had lots of snow and then warm daytime temps the past three days. This is in my yard about five minutes walk from where I sit now. When the light gets good later maybe I'll check it out again.

Thanks as always for your very helpful guidance.
