interesting image. would love to see what other mischief the truants who broke the ice are up to.

My eyes are naturally drawn to the two large cracks in the ice more than anything here. After looking around, the image feels harsh and perhaps a bit too high in contrast. Perhaps a softer focus in the post-processing would ease things up a tad. The sky/highlights are pretty far gone though.

Photo appears a bit overprocessed, the blue/purple hue is overdone.

A restfull type of image here...

the focus looks a bit funky to me. I can't tell if it is noisy from bumping the exposure or oversharpened. The composition is good, though.

The pond is frozen and the cracks are in the ice? Where am I supposed to look? Is there a center of interest? The bridge? but it is so far up in the picture, the ice water? it doesn't hold my interst yet it dominates half the picture. this leaves me compositionally confused. what lines should my eyes follow so that I don't just think "boring" and move to the nest photo. Perhaps there is a sublty here that I am missing? If so, it isn't a good picture to enter in a contest like this where most voters spend about 10 seconds to give the image a number. Techincal excellence and post processing are not enough. Why is it that you want me to look at this picture?

image busy-ness compacted into very small space. Vast empty bottom really does nothing as I can't focus on any of the bits and pieces. Not sure this is the best composition here. Lighting and color balance work well.

Nice scene, image doesn't appear to be quite in focus. Exposure could use some work, whites are blown.
