I'm considering this one (among a couple others on file) for the water contest if I don't make it out to the springs before the deadline. Critiques welcome and a kind thank-you for any comments :) 'Lisa
Hi Lily, for me the background being out of focus is a deficit as there is a lot happening back there that drags at my eye but it's not actually rewarding when I do look at it. Everything else here I like, the bottom two thirds is sharp, plenty of rich colour and nicely frozen water. Maybe cropping to off centre the image a bit more and reduce the impact of the background in the process would enhance things, then again even though I generally don't like square compositions the drama of those two rocks bisecting the image is kinda powerful.
A worthy entry
