Also taken on Jan. 1, 2015 but I was outside in the cold and freezing wind. Played around some in the cropping on this image. Had to shoot from the bridge over the creek.

Nice capture! I like how the speed captured the water in the bottom in an ice-like state. Nice curves running through in this small scene as well.

The ice vs moving water works well here, John, especially with the sharpness in some of the splashes along the bottom. Your crop does a good job of emphasizing the curves in both the water and the ice.

Lovely sense of motion, in spite of the cold!

Really effective John. The crop you used suits this image well. I also like the contrast between the sharply focused layer of ice along the top against the more abstract, flowing open water. Well seen! :toast:

Wonderful composition. You did a good job with the cropping IMO. The interplay of light and dark, and sharp vs blurred really works well here. The ice actually FEELS cold.
