 Was just browsing the usernames and I thought I could make this one look cool.

Post processing: Some cloning, burning and dodging, nothing radical. Was trying to use my 50mm f/1,8 but it couldn't focus long enough so I used the kit lense, you can focus pretty close with it.

Greetings from the Critique Club

I'm pleased to have the chance to look at this image again. The delicate pink color of the stone embedded in the ice makes for a sophisticated interpretation of the Challenge. It's nicely photographed and the reflection is right on.

Because you only received middle-ground marks from our voters I looked long and hard at this image to see what could be done to pep it up. I wonder how it would be received if the pink stone was stuck in a jagged piece of craggy ice. (and I know you've got plenty of that where you live) The cube of ice you have looks a bit structured, and well, perhaps uninteresting. Our people are always looking for that "Wow" factor.

Anyhow, it's a thought. Looks as if you are enjoying DPC and I'll look forward to seeing more of your work.
