That really is an unbelievable capture, and a well-deserved ribbon. I can't believe you got this hand-held! I guess my comment about DOF was a little harsh -- looking at this picture again, I see that the points of all 3 icicle tips are in-focus, which now that I study it some more, I really like! Awesome work as always Gary.

Originally posted by EddyG: If you really caught two perfect drops in mid-air, this is an amazing capture. If the dripping water was added in after the fact, a lot less impressive. I really like the smooth gradient background. I can see how the shallow DOF accentuates certain parts of the icicle, but I would have preferred to see more of it in clearer focus, since the majority of it is out of focus...
