Icecapades

Made my semi-annual trip to the Green Mountain Falls frozen cascades; it's my favorite place to shoot ice, and the flow is always slightly different so there's always something new to shoot--kind of like the Sand Dunes. Anyhow, i could use some help weeding thru the keepers, since only one or two will survive the final cut, so id appreciate some input! Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Stan,

All are nice in different ways. Good set and tough to choose.
My choice would be II with a crop off of the right 25% Right now, my eye wants to look both at the water flow with rocks and the bulbous icicle on the right.
My $.02 from a devalued dollar.

Happy Thanksgiving also.

Stan, there are some very cool shots there. My fav are II and III because they draw me into the scene. For a second you almost lose track of scale and think they are massive ice caves. =)

Very nice images Stan, I like the second and fifth.

These are really "cool" Stan! I like I and II best.

Hmm... I kind of like the simpler ones and might throw off the average here. My pics are IV and V. Not an easy task to just pick one or two. I miss ice, damn you Zapata Falls!

Stan, What a beautiful set of ice images.
Rod Chandler and I just got back from Bosque del Apache and White Sands.
I haven't posted any thing yet, but we thought of you and your beloved Dunes.
I really like your new background showing to dune texture...very unique.

I'm no help, I'd keep them all, except maybe the triptych.

My favorite might be #6 cropped down to the top of the flowing water, but i also think most of the others are about as good!

Stan- 1 &2 draw me in to the scene and are my fav's.

Thanks for the input, folks!

Right off the bat, #'s I & VI (with a top and left crop losing the bright background) appealed to me in an artistic way.

Nice detail. Like the little bit of color on the right side.

I like 2, 5, 6, and 8. Cool set, but I don't think they compare to the strong work you have from the last couple of years.

Nice set, I like the composition in Icecapades IV

Morris--i have to agree with you, i was really excited when i was on site, but when i uploaded all my shots, i was really pretty dissapointed. I kind of felt uninspired. The weird thing is that ive written some of the best songs i've ever done in the past couple of weeks, so maybe i can only do music or photography at one time...who knows.
