Strong reflected lighting from the snow on a mountain to camera left provided some nice lighting on the rocks and ice. The ice patterns reminded me of waves. Comments most appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Paul, goes to show you how windy it is up there. The waves don't have a chance!
Everthing here is proper in my opinion. Love the deep blue.

This is really cool! I feel cold just looking at it. I love the cool temperature of it, and it's nicely composed. The gentle light on the rocks really help this image. Great stuff!

This is really neat. The composition is excellent with the placement of the rocks against the ice. The sculptured quality of the scalloped ice is remarkable. Nice job in seeing the light on those rocks; would have been a 'blue-out' without it. Hope you made some other images focusing on that ice. Super.

Wow Paul! This is a really awesome small landscape. The out of focus area in the back is not ideal I don't think, but I'll admit that I really don't care because I'm enjoying this photo so much.

The textures are wonderful along with the gradient blues seen in the frozen waves.... Great capture! I love it!

Paul,
This is really nice! I love the contrast in textures, shapes and colour. So cool the way the rocks are so geometric and the ice so organic. This is a great find, you should be proud of this one!... The only suggestion I might have, and it's a very, very minor nit, is to take the tiniest amount off the bottom so that the space between the edge of the stone and the edge of the frame are equal on the top and bottom. I know it's a very small margin, but for some reason it bothers my eye! Great work here!

Cool pretty much sums it up. It's like the water froze in motion.

Love the patterns in the ice, and the rocks fit into that pattern perfectly. A perfect winter image Paul.

Hah!! I like this a real frozen moment in time. Great little intimate with a fine colour contrast of ice and warm rock.

paul - i look at this and hope that you took a photo of the waves but without the rocks - i think that might have made a good abstract?

Those "ice waves" are awesome. Love the deep blues and hints of snow. The rocks anchor it. Very cool image.

From the thumbnail I thought it was ocean waves, but even full size it still looks like waves - very cool Paul!. I like your use of the rocks in the composition too, very nice!.

Totally awesome image, Paul! The ice formations are something unique (for me, at least) and the reflections really give the impression that you're looking at waves.

This is really cool. I like the patterns and textures. The blue of the ice is awesome. The thumbnail looked like two dolphins in the ocean... pretty neat abstract.

I've never seen anything like this. Truly original work my friend. Love the colors and the tiny air bubbles trapped under the ice. I wouldn't mind seeing an abstract of this without the rocks. Nice work, this is wicked.
