Greetings from the Critique Club!

Very nice shot, though possibly has too many elements for a truly Minimalist challenge. Still, the light is great (don't think you needed quite such a high ISO but oh well) and I know exactly how the water rose and fell, immersing the frozen drops of water off the branch each time, until they turned into these shapes. So capturing this when the water was still and mirrorlike is very good timing on your part.

I have to disagree with the commenter who suggested that you should have cropped closer on the right. However I would have suggested cropping out some of the upper left, where it's starting to get a little overexposed, but it's your image and how you choose to present it. I also think this would look great in b/w.

Anyway, you did an excellent job and the commenters love you, so please keep entering and keep up the great work!

Susan

I like the subject and the color scheme but in my opinion it would probably look a bit better if it were cropped tighter on the right side.
