I gave this one a 6 Bear. I liked it, perfect focus, great detail, nice crisp clean shot. However, in a theme such as light, you couldnt expect this one to be in the top ten. Maybe if the theme was Ice it would of had a shot.

Stunning. Very stark, in a wonderful way. This is clearly my favourite of your shots here. I quite like the centralised composition - it's almost as if the ice is cascading down the image, and the background has taken on an almost otherworldly feel.

great colors and textures. i think the image would look more appealing with a different cropping- taking the icicle out of the center. it seems a bit static composed in this way.
