Ok -- this is my second "I think it's too recognizable to be abstract." Yet this one is a lot closer than the first. I'm guessing it's just that I've seen to many slow water pictures for it to have any mystery. The over sharp with the slow is kind of interesting. But part of me wonders if just a part of this would have been much more effective. I guess I want my abstracts to have a bit of mystery or intrigue to it. And taking just part, like the upper left quadrant, I think could be much more interesting and make people want to dig a bit deeper into it. Which is translating into a 6.

Powerful shot. I'm seeing dark halos around the rocks which I find very distracting, almost as if you tried to heal sharpening halos and went too far outside the rocks(?). The water also feels flat, like it's lacking texture or variation in color. Well captured, but I'm not thrilled with the post. 6

I always love shots of the ice on the black sand, I especially love the way the beach seamlessly gives way to the water. As far as the challenge goes it just seems to dark overall to meet my interpretation of light on white but that's just my opinion. Also the focus on the ice just seems a little soft but overall a pleasing image. Good luck in the challenge.

I don't see a white background so I will consider this off theme.
