FIRST IMPRESSION: Excellent entry, and proof that something simple works. As a bit of a "road-geek" I love the old style US highway sign. This type of sign has not been in production in the US in probably more than 30 years.

CHALLENGE: This shot meets the challenge perfectly. Simple and to the point, yet not boring.

COMPOSITION: Flawless composition, an excellent example of the rule of thirds. The background does not detract at all.

TECHNICAL: Good technical aspect. I have to wonder why you used your macro setting, though, since macro is optimized to focus on subjects extremely close to the lens (within 1m). You may have better luck with a full zoom without using the macro feature, though admittedly I would never have known you had used it if you didn't say so.

CONCLUSION: This is one of the best entries this week. Nicely done!

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!

Don't know how you did this but I like it. Probably as clear as can be. Looks real. Well done. Wish you had cropped off the extra on the corners or left space all around, one way or the other. But still good.

This is very cool. It is also a very creative idea. Where did you take this photograph?? And the bear is so cute! Good job.

This is a really cool (LOL) shot. I'm not positive how much it meets the challenge but if I had this I would submit it too 'cause I'd want everyone to see it!! Good job.

That's one hell of a big Fox's Glacier Mint (which probably won't make any sense if you're not British).
The lighting on the fur is lovely. Could have done to be cropped inside the "ice cube" to lose the background in the corners, though that may have made the link to "square" too hard to see.

I can see it's a block of ice, but I think the square shape doesn't come out very well. A bit less cropping would have done it maybe.

This is a good idea, and you've done it well, but you forgot to make it square!
