 I have always been attracted to water as a methaphor of the chi in life. The sharp edge of ice and the gentle curves of moving water, together in a delicate balance.
This full frame image was taken near Deep Creek Maryland at Swallow Falls. The levels were adjusted just slightly to bring up the highlights.

I feel that your eposure was a little too long. The water flow kind of has a snowy appearance, and the movement is all but lost.

A tighter crop would have worked better (assuming you had the option to play with. The trees at the top, particularly the near-center one, are distracting and don't add anything to the theme.

This image is technincally good but there's no subject to focus on. I'd reccomend that you get more of an angle on the flowing water. 7

I very much appreciate the contrast between the greens, snow and silky water. Added interest of the cave-like opening makes the photo exciting as well.

Good one. I guess you had to dress pretty warm to get this one? Burrrrr

Great picture....I like the way you slowed down the shutter speed for the effect of the fluidity of the water.

I like the textures on the rocks and snow. I think the effect of moving water is more exagerrated than it needs to be - you can hardly tell the water from the snow. A slightly faster shutter speed to get some blur but not too much.

A lovely shot with nice abstraction and colour.
