This one is a bit boring and naff, I don't expect it to do well at all but I've not entered a challenge for a while, so I figured I might as well.

Simple set-up, just ice cubes on blue card; cropped, adjusted brightness levels and saturation/hue, denoised, sharpened and added borders to top and bottom.

This is neat, I really like coldness of the image. Might have to pull it up and look at it as the summer moves in here. One of my top 10

Personally I don't like the border, but I like the image.

Very cool colors. I just don't think you captured the ice very well as it doesn't stand out from the background at all. Compare to the other ice shot with a blue background in this challenge... this one is missing the luminosity and texture of the ice.

Ice is difficult to photograph, unless it's prepared in a very special way it's never "crystal" clear. I think this is one of those few photographs that could actually benefit from having some water droplets or signs of condensation. I like the lighting, and the lack of shadow, but I find the seam where the backdrop meets the floor to be a bit distracting. I'd love to see a photo where you stack more ice and fill the frame. They have such interesting imperfections.
