Ice Storm

What I first like about this is the formal contrast between the diagonals of the foreground tree branches against the vertical of the waterfall, and the highlight luminance of the ice-encrusted twigs and the less bright waterfall make that happen. After that there is the cognitive appreciation of the contrast between two forms of water; the crystalline, static form, replicated in the rock, and the liquid dynamic form of flow in the falls.

If this were in B&W it would end there, but to me the muted coloration in the evergreens and the rock help to give a sense of reality rather than formal abstraction.

ps - would have guessed the shutter at slower than 1/90, but the proof is in the pudding.

This is a beautiful scene.I love the diagonals in the fg contrasting the vertical lines in the background. Also the subtle colors are very appealing.

The ice makes for a very fine image, and the depth is just as good in this. Your pp made for really good balance in tones. And, the large version has great detail. Really well done.

Love the frost encrusted tree branches so nicely balanced by the falls in your composition. Beautifully done.

Pretty. I really like the delicacy of the foreground froast-covered tree. It makes a nice frame for the falls, but just wish there were a little more space between it and the water.

The large view sure does increase the appeal of this image.
