Streams of Color

This is a very strong entry with good composition, great movement and lovely colors. It has all the ingredients of a ribbon image. The diagonal sweep with those vibrant colors is certainly an impressive sight to behold. While 5.9421 places it above the average, this image should have placed much higher.

The voters take many challenges too literal. That is when they specify wind they want to see something driven by the wind and this image is very much and safely within the definition as opposed to those that use wind indirectly such as wind instrument or simply wind created by fans etc. Again: here is an image that meets the challenge head on with lovely wind motion and a great visual, why did it not break the 6 mark?

I have no answer except to give you credit for this very unique entry and more ideas will sprout from your fertile mind that will eventually net you a ribbon. Keep batting away and do stay this creative, paydirt will come.

This is a very intriguing image which stops the viewers and forces them to think. Many things in nature are always surprising us, however, this one is beyond my comprehension. This is what makes this image unique.

It is a very good exposure and the highlights, the whites on whites is a sight to behold. It is like looking at those long crevice brushes but the overall activity you captured here is very entertaining. The one snapped branch has no collection of this ice where as the remainder, still standing has them. As if they fell off the fallen branch because of its position.

Well, it is a very pleasing composition and one that fitted the challenge handily. It is also an enigma because the mystery lingers in the mind. Many voters only give images a very short span of attention and some never return for a second look. Those that look longer are rewarded the beauty of images like yours. I can not see a photographer walking past this little wonder without seeking this wonderful capture.
