Frosty Falls
Interested in your comments on this. Seems a little busy, but a vert. crop tends to center the falls to much. I also wanted to include both the top of the falls and the blue water at the bottom. The tree limbs are not saturated because they are frost covered.

Jerry,
I like it overall. It's a pretty scene with alot to look at. I don't think it's too busy. Even though the trees are frost covered, they do look kind of pale. If you didn't say anything about the frost, I would have thought the image needs more processing.

Looks pretty nice to me Jerry.

I really like this scene, Jerry. These are hard to pull off, but you did!

Nothing out of place here, Jerry; it will look nice on your wall.

At first glance it looks very nice Jerry but the more I look at it, the dried twigs at the far right bother me a bit.

NIce one, Jerry. I like the colors and the comp but I'd like a little bit more of a sense of place here. Maybe having moved back a bit, the green tree above and right might have made a good counterpoint to the sort of odd colors in the water fall and river.

Thanks guys, It was a strange color day, but had a good time with all the ice. At the lower left of this falls is this strange ice dragon.

Ice Dragon, LOL, I see it, thats pretty cool!

This is nice how you can relate the ice formation to the mystical creature. Good call!

Hi Jerry,
I like your first post ok. To me, cropping vertical would be preferable to all the dead looking bushy stuff on the right. I don't think the color is that odd, but trying a black/white point adjustment might be insightful...
I really like your second post. That's cool.
