**** Greeting from the Critique Club ****
Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes
Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? Nice use of the Rule of Thirds for composition. The subject is interesting with the curves of the puddle and the straight lines of the twigs and stones.
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes. I am amazed at the work you did with ISO 100, aperture f/11. It would require a 20 sec exposure. I don't know that I could pull that one off myself (although strictly speaking I can only do an f/8 with my camera...)
- Good focus? Yes
Lighting
- Good use of light? Yes. Interesting use of white balance along with the long exposure.
- Are there any over-blown highlights? Thereare a couple of edges that are blown out, but minorly. My eye keeps going to the lit edge of the top middle stone with the very sharp white edge.
- Good use of shadows? Yes
- Are there any overly dark shadows? Actually the biggest rock I'd like to see more details in the shadows.
Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- Colors and Contrast. Contrast is excellent, and I don't know that I'd choose the WB to give the orange color cast, but it works for many of the commentors/voters.
- Sharpness. Maybe a little over sharp. Did you post-process at all. Maybe soften it a little.
- What is my reaction or feelings? A great image with lots of details. Very respectable score for your second submission. I can't wait to see more of your work. |

| Highly interesting treatment. That twig is certainly an oddity. Bumping up. |

| Nice microcosm. It is all encapsulated here with the branch and the ice |

| I light the water highlight in back of the little tree. Very novel shot. |

| This is growing on me. Its strange and the composition is a little unusual... the warm tone and ice is usually not a good mix, but I get the feeling that the surreal is part of what you were going for. The type of picture that is probably more powerfull viewed in print than on a computer screen... |

| One of my favorites in the challenge! The twig in the glare is what makes this image, in my opinion. |

| Wow, I love how the twig is caught right in the long reflection of the light source. |

| Since it's a winter scene, I'd imagine it either in grays or blues. This makes it look so much warmer and inviting that it probably is! |
