    Re: Ice

    I like it as an abstract.. I like the interaction between the lights and the firey colours.... but I dislike the limited DOF.

    I think this would be a stronger image if the tip of the ice/branch had been in focus and then faded to blur as the eye travelled backward through the image.

    Re: Ice

    Good colors and interesting composition.

    I'd like to see the center of the DOF a bit further back on the twig. The slight blur though does ADD to the composition as I feel it makes the viewer look more at the color and shape.

    There seem to be too much dark and empty space in the lower portion of the photograph.

    Nice choice of color for the border.

    Yeah, I was having a hard time taking the picture. I was standing on an Icy hill

    I think it was F7.1 so I don't know why there isn't a lot of DOF. Maybe I was too close to the tip of the branch

    wow, very nice picture! I like the lighting and the colors. Very unique and great composition. Good job. Though I agree with Jaedon, I know you were trying to focus on the ice, but having the tip of the branch in focus probably would've brought the photo out more.
