Do you see an ice creature in this picture? If so, please give me a species ID!

Wayne, I really like this...
well seen, captured and processed.
No suggestions at all from here.
Very nice.

I see a nasty looking face in the middle rock under water. And an ice creature with its head near the water, kinda lizard-like. Ah, picked the wrong month to quit sniffing glue...... Nice little winter water scene, Wayne.

Looks like a turtle hanging from the rocks and that's a great exposure on it. I also like how the falling water mimics the icicles at the top. Really nice!

I see an ice orgy with a lot of different species. Feel sorry for that one on the bottom. Water texture is pretty cool here. Maybe the ice in the URC is a bit distracting.

I'm seeing some sort of gargoyle-like thing in the lower left, but it might just be an acid flashback pretty cool details here.

Without looking at other comments, I'd say a turtle... It could be a few things, maybe...
BTW, I really like the image. The motion in the water is incredible, and the contrasts in this are great. TFS!

Wow, what a nice little scene, Wayne. Perfect shutter speed and the processing looks great. I could see brightening the highlights in the water and ice in the URHC just a bit, but it's fine as presented to!

I really like the movement of the water and the light you captured in this, Wayne.
Did you process this while listening to S&G?
Very artistic. Excellent work!

Don't worry, Harley...I, too, the the "lizard/snake like head just above the water!
One thing bothers me..
there seems to be too much canvas between the formations. The rock and the waterfall look out of place to me..they seem to be "painted" into the center of the photo.
I would like to see the open space cropped and the "bulls eye" rock removed, so that the delightful ice formations are closer together. The ice "sculptures" IMHO, should occupy "center stage".
This would really make the Ice "Sparkle" to my eyes

I see him Wanye! Looks like the Old Man in the Mountain. I wondered where he had gone. Love the water motion here and crystaline ice.

The texture you achieved in the water is remarkable. Great composition as well, and love the sculptural qualities of the ice. Really nice.

A fantastic composition for me, Wayne. The clear cut ice sculptures together with the flow makes for a stunning image to me, and the interplay of colors is exceptional in my opinion.

Interesting, a frozen duck, an old man sleeping, the turtle, a sea serpent. Way to make everyone's imagination run rampart. The light in the ice is very nice an I'm enjoying the cool tones.

Wow, I almost didn't pull this up judging from the thumbnail, but I'm sure glad I did. This is really, really nice. The texture of the water is so special, as is the crystalline nature of the ice. Love the turtle in the ice too.
