This is a fairly common type of shot but you executed it well. Great backlighting. Very interesting splash. I like the diagonal of the water.

cocktails anyone??

Interesting subject but the lighting is much too dark for me. Would have been nice with strong backlighting or at least a bright light to catch the colors and reflect a sparkle.

Very interesting find. I love the bubbles. Nice use of contrasting colors. I like the center framing on this subject.

I can't quite make out what this is and the pattern isn't sharp enough to create interest. greens and pinks are interesting but not enough to make me want to ponder it.

Wisdom toothless icequeen

Very creative interpretation of the theme. I'm not sure about the composition... did you mean to catch her eating with her tongue out or was this just a snapshot. How about a font and center composition highlighting some puffy cheeks with a wind angle, surrounded by the ice pack? That might have emphasized the wisdom teeth and the soreness that goes with it.

POLAR ICE !

I like it that the subject is black and unlit while the background is lit... gives it twice the interest. Very nice lighting.

Wow! Beautiful scene. Where the heck is it? It looks like a beautiful and historic place (none of that in my neighborhood)! I like the coldness of the background with the warm foreground. The castle is a little too centered for me, maybe up and to the left just to offset. It seems a little blurred but maybe that's my monitor.

This one makes me happy... reminds me of many childhood pond hockey games. I like it that everyone is in "play" clothes and that the youngest boy's tongue is out, showing he's struggling to keep up with the big boys. I like it that your subject is people, not just ice. Maybe a closer crop to zoom in on the expressions, but then again you would have lost the feel of the threesome. Maybe a simpler background or out of focus background to simplify and focus on the expressions. Nicely done!

Interesting splash. Looks highly processed, either contrast, saturation or sharpness. I like the blue light behind the glass. A bit contrived.

Frozen Landscape

Wow! What a scene! Beautiful subject. Nice composition by putting the tree offcenter. Interesting lines in the picture. I like how the trees in the background fad out and there's a hint of a silo, all shrouded by snowfall or fog or cold atmosphere. Minimal color emphasizes the simplicity of the beautiful scene.
