I really liket this shot. I forget what i gave it in the challenge but i remember it was a high mark. I really like the lines on the steal thing on the left. The ripples in the ice are very interesting and have a soothing smooth texture. Theh simplicity of the right side of the image is also pleasing, with the snow and sky, and the very sharp line betwen the two. color saturation looks really good, as does the light balance. The now on the middle right DOES look burnt out. I am not sure what you could do to fix this, as it was probably a very conrasty shot (as sunlight shots usually are)... or perhaps contrasty isn't the word, but it has MANY light levels, whereas the camera only records 5 (more or less).. but overall very nice image. Good job.
strange effect almost looks like plastic and having a blue sky with snow make this shot stand out I love the colours and it is a different take on the challenge
Good originality
