 Wondering around camp I got plenty of nice snow pictures but this ice formation caught my eye thinking about this challenge. I assume it started as an ice sickle and when it met the water it just build up.

Greetings from the Critique Club

It looks like this is your second challenge entry. I hope you'll keep at it. It's fun, and if you're like me you'll learn a ton.

Now to the photo ... I didn't vote in this challenge but upon seeing the photo I liked it right away. I get tired of seeing the same old things here, and i appreciated your fresh subject. You did a nice job with focus and depth of field to isolate and showcase your subject and to bring out the various textures. The subject itself is interesting with the little ice-pad-feet for the branch. The composition is good, especially the placement of the branch above midline and the placement of the ice-pad-feet near the rule-of-thirds sweet spots.

Given the original, it's hard to imagine how you might process it differently to improve it. Maybe experiment with B&W or Sepia. Maybe try rotating for more of a diagonal composition. I like to experiment with images I like to see if I can improve them.

When you're shooting subjects like this, point of view is important. I try to shoot as many angles and perspectives as I can. Perhaps you did this and this is the one you liked best. But if not, try it next time and see if it doesn't give you more options.

I look forward to seeing more from you in the future.
