Frozen #2

Very serene

What do you think?

Pretty scene. The blue hue of the light expresses the right mood. Good exposure. Nice job making this eye-catching picture.

The mood created is interesting, but the subject of the shot seems confused. The wavy lines of the ice lead the eye up, but then the frame cuts off and we don't get to fix on any definite point of interest in the upper third of the photo.

Greg, thanks for your observation. This shot was really hard for me to crop (it's a 6x6) - If I cropped the bottom to give you more of a top subject, you'd lose the space around the ice. If I went vertical, again the ice would suffer. I thought about turning this photo upside down, it gives sort of a nice abstract look! Anyway, I really wish I could shoot more frames of this scene, but I used my last roll of Velvia on it and I don't think I'll see this ice effect again anytime soon.
