GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Congratulations on a fine image and a fine finish in this demanding competition. With a 6.58 finish, you don't need much of a critique from the likes of me, so I'll just say you deserve an extra prize for getting out there in weather like that!

This review also gave me the chance to look at some of your other work. I must say your Dancing birds not only made me laugh but made me gasp with the (apparent) ease in which you made the capture. Difficult beyond belief!

Well, since there is 'nothing to critique here' I guess I must move along to the next image in the queue.

Alice

Though the wave here isn't as powerful as in your free study entry, I think this is a bolder (or maybe just sharper) view. The tower really stands out.

I've seen a few pictures of this lighthouse before and they are all amazing. The frozen water everywhere is really quite the sight!

How wonderful, that looks positively freezing! You did an excellent job with this shot, the only small detraction is the color of the water, although it is probably true to the scene, a slight color adjustment here might have really made an incredible difference... Maybe.. I still really like the shot, 7 ok with you?

the only thing I can add here is that I wish the color saturation was bumped up a little bit.
