Greetings from the Critique Club

I'm pleased to have the chance to look at this image again. The delicate pink color of the stone embedded in the ice makes for a sophisticated interpretation of the Challenge. It's nicely photographed and the reflection is right on.

Because you only received middle-ground marks from our voters I looked long and hard at this image to see what could be done to pep it up. I wonder how it would be received if the pink stone was stuck in a jagged piece of craggy ice. (and I know you've got plenty of that where you live) The cube of ice you have looks a bit structured, and well, perhaps uninteresting. Our people are always looking for that "Wow" factor.

Anyhow, it's a thought. Looks as if you are enjoying DPC and I'll look forward to seeing more of your work.

I think the DOF doesn't do enough here to isolate the foreground. Also, the shutter speed should've been a been faster to capture the water.

I really don't see how anyone scored this under "5". This is quite the cool photo.
