 A different approach to the challenge. I tried to create what sound would look like if it was expressed as an image, rather than take a photo of a noisey thing.

Greetings from the Critique Club!...

FIRST REMARKS... Wow, your prediction is so accurate! I think you are the person I've critiqued the most, this being the third critique done, and every time, your own comments are pretty on the mark :)

COMPOSITION... This abstract appeals to me also, but not with the screwdriver inside the shot... its just so dark that it looks like an unecessary or obtrusive object in the photo. Perhaps you could have shone a small light onto it. Maybe if the screwdriver was more discernable as one, then it would convey the feeling of sound more strongly. Adding slight motion blur with the screwdriver as it strikes the ice can also help with that feeling of "sound" while still maintaining the photo's abstract qualities.

TECHNIQUE...Excellent exposure, with a good range of tones from the highlights to the shadows, niceley saturated blues. The light seems to be coming from behind the ice, always an interesting way to light things :) Of course, ice will always appear "messy".. I wish I knew of a way to make it smooth and flowing, since i'm not crazy about all the specks and other obtrusions in the ice...

OVERALL... I do agree its a nice abstract but the fact that it doesn't covey the feeling of sound as much as other entrys is what ultimately hurt your score.

I haven't a clue what this is. I'm going to imagine its ice and an ice pick. I hope you can relieve me of my ignorance on this soon!

I love the coolness of this shot, and the colors, but I must be totally blind because I can't see "sound" in it at all. If you want to PM me, I may reconsider my score.

Not sure what this is? Ice? Sound?

Hmm, even with the title I'm not sure I understand what this is supposed to be -- ice cracking is my best guess, in which case it's on topic, but as it's somewhat unclear and a little abstract it's hard to get a good feel for it.
