Nicely composed image :) Some of the spines look overexposed to me and I would have cleaned up some of the specs in between the spines. The frame is well filled and the simple lines are very effective.

Comment by Blue Moon:
nice sparkle in the snow and it's exposed well but I gotta say, I really hate that grey border, it takes away from an otherwise interesting image.

Sharp contrasts and form; the occasional glimpse of detail in the ribs is a real tease.

As has been sa (many tis) yes yu can and should crop thiss and edit it? well, thats up to you ;) The snow seems overexposed and I tend to agree that croppin up to te waters edge bottom right would help the overall composition. Looks like you've found a great spot and will be interesting to see this location changing with the seasons.

Cool find :) As others have said its a little soft and am thinking the front post is a little overexposed.

Great use of the lines in the cactus, love the composition.

Botanical photos, you teach me, should never be overlooked. They always have some sort of careful pattern showing, be it Fibonacci numbers, or geometrical symmetry. Perhaps they are signs of 'the plan.' ;-)

Nice, somewhat abstract photo. There is good detail in the thorns, and like how it blurs in the lower right hand corner.
