What a beauty, Tonia! I love the subject and the composition. The details in the ice are really beautiful. and the soft light is the icing on the cake. :biggrin:

I like the details (and the angle across the frame) along the gap in the ice. The snow cap on the little rock is a nice addition.

This one is interesting because several different things are happening at the same time. My eye scurries around the image trying to figure it all out. Good composition. I like the light on the gravel and the way the Velvia picks up some color at the top.

I like all the variety of lines and shapes in this image, Tonia. You really have chosen a nice comp for this scene in nature. One never knows what snow/ice/water will create. Great find!

Good title--looks like a gaping mouth with sharp teeth and a big eyeball--cool!
