I like to use leaves/branches as framing elements too.

Gives a good hint of the chaos to come ... great combination of sharp focus and soft look.

Love the patterns in the foreground ice. Interesting combination of warm and cold sections.

I'm hoping this is taken from the Queen Mary or something, and not while dangling from one of those water-ski/kite things ... the high perspective definitely adds.

Great use of light to show detail and create background.

Lighting and exposure are good. Pose doesn't look quite natural for playing, but it's been a long time since I've watch someone play one up close. It looks to me as though extra sharpening may have been applied aroung the eyes, and for me it's just a little too much, but maybe that's just excellent focusing with good glass and my imagination : )

Excellent reflection, strong diagonal composition. It's pretty minor, but I wish it didn't lose the top rail in the back -- I'm guessing something else needed to be cropped out -- trimming a tiny bit from the right might lessen the effect.
