What a great idea....I may try to mimic you....I look for a unique picture for our annual American Heart Run and Walk fundraiser...and this may be the idea for this year....

Nicely done... One of my top pics, wouldn't be surprised at all to see this ribbon.
11/23/2008 02:35:30 PM
Nice icey blues. I like the textures in the ice even though your probably getting a lot of advice on how to get ice without bubbles. I like it.
11/22/2008 11:03:49 AM
This should appeal to the DPC voters... top 3 IMO
11/20/2008 09:08:20 AM
great title, very clean and sharp 8
11/18/2008 07:51:47 PM
Excellent!
11/18/2008 12:32:29 PM
Lovely sharp details, lovely texture within the ice and nice reflections from the ice and the melt-water. Great bokeh in that background too. All good.

This image makes me think of someone who is cold and bitter.

Composition is good. I really like the blue tone used.

I wish the background was more uniform. The bright area in the top left of the photo is distracting. I also wish the photo was a tad darker.

This is still a great photo.
11/17/2008 07:22:19 PM
Nice concept
11/17/2008 05:04:30 PM
I love the blue! And the bokeh! And the sharpness! And the contrast! Well done. 8
11/17/2008 02:10:00 PM
Excellent, love the color....though some may have wanted red...love the reflection, the background works well, just a wonderful image.
11/17/2008 01:26:05 PM
Nice dof, nice colors. Would prefer if the subject wasn't right in the middle.
11/17/2008 11:37:37 AM
excellent execution of this shot - it has a feeling of an image by 'you know who"
11/17/2008 08:45:20 AM
Nice!! I like the DOF and bokeh.
11/17/2008 04:39:45 AM
very well done, nice bokeh. border rather distracts.7
11/17/2008 02:44:21 AM
Beautiful photo - 9.
11/17/2008 02:04:07 AM
Great idea! Love this and the overall cool look. One of my faves so far
11/17/2008 12:11:07 AM
This could use a run through Neat Image or similar. Very well executed otherwise. I like the centered square crop choice, but I don't like the beveled border. I've got a personal angst against beveling, but I'm not voting, so it won't hurt your score from me.

nice and strong...nice depth of field, good strong contrast 8
