i love how ice builds up on piers etc near the shore - i just wish the ice was illuminated so we could see the textures a bit better

I love the character of lighthouses. This photo shows off the character of this one SO WELL! It so makes me want to be there taking pictures of it myself.

A nice scene and well composed. I do feel that a bit more contrast could help the picture and agree with Melethia that a bit more dynamic sky could help this picture.

Dry ice is some really amazing stuff and add a great effect here. I must agree the brighter (or lighter) photo does make the image jump out more.

I think this is a good subject for black and white - it emphasizes the strength of the lighthouse well. I like the boats beyond - provides good context to the shot. What time of day did you take this? And a more "dramatic sky" would improve the overall quality of the shot - can you get to this location easily or was this a one time deal? If you can get back there, try to go when there are some clouds in the sky for texture. With such an interesting structure, you may want to try different angles as well.

A nice shot, the fact that the sky is so empty really works against the image, off setting the strength of the wall leading the eye to the light house.

It sure looks a cold day. I'm not bothered by the shadows but I agree with the others that should be shot from a lower angle.

Definitely a cool effect from the dry ice. I will agree with the others that bumping the whites a bit in this would add a bit of pop and contrast.

Wholly endearing expression. Hands and tree bark simply reinforce the genuine quality of this wonderful photo. Would I feel the latter so much if it were in colour?

I've always wanted to try a photo with dry ice. the smoke gives an eerie haunting feel to the photo. And here, the subject, which almost looks like it could be a statute on a gravestone, it gives it even more of an "other worldly" look. I like it :) I do agree with Deb too that a little more light on the white/neutrals gives it even more pop and drama.
