Positives:
Interesting perspective showing the icicles but not their base attachment. Though small it is nice you capture a drop falling. Composition works well.
Technicals:
Icicle soft focus is this image's greatest defect. The entire composition is directed to them so they should be as technically perfect as possible. Overall composition is weak.
Lighting is OK but not exceptional. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times for outdoor phototography because that is when there is the most interesting lighting and shadow. The icicle composition would benefit from that type of lighting. Background softness and content is OK but not very interesting.
The blue spot in the BG just below one of the icicles competes with it for attention so therefore acts as a distraction.
Looks like the image is not 'level' and tilted several degrees off vertical, a problem I have a lot myself. :) If done intentionally then I'd recommend at least a 15 degree angle. The human eye normally wants things at lesser angles to be perfectly vertical.
The challenge:
Obviously this fits the challenge. There is a long tradition of icicles imagery at DPC. The highest scoring ones are techically perfect images most often with one of more drops of water as prominent elements of the composition. You may want to review some of those for yourself to see what makes them 'good'.
