:: Hello from the Critique Club ::
............................................................
Nice work capturing the subject in unusual conditions. The icicles add much interest here.
Composition is OK, but the horizontal is at odds with the arrangement, so I'd have taken the shot either more square or much more obliquely. I'm sure that you may have found a view that showed less background, but closer icicles and water detail. Perhaps standiung under the bridge to the left may have yielded this, with enough the bridge to show it's a bridge and plenty of other details to look at.
I agree that the desaturation serves little purpose here since it is mainly used to draw attention the itme selected, and I can find now reason for doing this to the rail.
Cheers

| Not really fond of the use of selective desaturation here. It doesn't really add to the photo other than to prevent the guardrail from blending in too much with the trees - adding some contrast might have accomplished that in a better way imho. Also, the bridge is not perfectly horizontal - in this framing, it is somewhat awkward. Might be better to include part of the bridge that is connected to the ground. |

| The bridge works perfectly with its environment. It's a little hard to believe that the railing was quite that green and the rest of the composition that black and white. Whether it complies with the rules or not, it is a nice aesthetic choice to make. Those icecicles are really the 'icing' on the cake. Nice. |

| It might have been a more effective composition without the green on bridge. It seems to intrude on the black and white. |

| Im not so sure, You are allowed to do this kind of editing by the Basic Editing Rules, but if You are - did the photo really become any better - or did it become worse? |
