Soft Edges

Comment by LobsterClaws:
too dark on the bottom, the lines of the edges aren't smooth, they look cut uneven, poor lighting, no thoughts to color.

Nice picture! I like the detail in the ice and on the chains. Good shot! Nice contrast as well!

Flawless, aesthetically satisfying entry.
The straight-on perspective makes for a less dramatic perception of the narrow depth of field than as if taken from an angle. Such an emphasis would, IMHO, contributed interest to a subject which is both worthy and appealing (due to the textural interest and an apparent tension of the chain at a temperature conducive to snowfall) but also one lacking spectacularity. I doubt, however, that such observations will influence its score in the context of DPC.

Among competing entries in this challenge, it should, desevedly, ribbon. But then again, -ribbon- is not a verb. ;-)

Mmm - so many contrasts. Warm colour of the chain but cold metal. Soft fluffy appearance of the snow but actually cold wetness. I like the simplicity of composition and background.

too much ice not enough tailighes, the frame is just totally uncalled for.

the lighting is a bit harsh... not sure how you could fix that.. maybe a light source other than the camera flash and bring the light in from an angle...

Looks good. Are these grapes? Try dipping grapes into melted white chocolate, and then freezing them. Serve them in a strong, berry flavored juice. Yum! The lighting is just a bit harsh here, but most of the ice crystals are sharp and clear.
