*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting image assumed to meet the challenge.

It's making me feel cold just looking at it! The leak and freezing cold has made a spectacular sight for sure, I like your composition, we have everything of interest nicely placed off-centre with a feel for the surrounding desolation of the location. The clear blue sky adds an appealing backdrop to the scene, the white of the icicle contrasts well with it. For a nice clean image I think it would have been preferable to have cloned out the wire from the tower.

Thanks for your submission, apologies for the delay of the critique, Sid.

An extra point for an interesting subject. I'd have liked to have seen the top of tower lighten a touch, as it fades into the background a bit too much for my liking. Nice image.

A natural formation so similar to cathedrals' flying buttresses! What temperature and for how long to achieve this?
