This probably got scored so low because of the lack of visible ice. Seems like a shoehorn attempt. It's not a bad pic, though. Aside from not meeting the challenge theme, I would have probably given it a 5. I can see an effort at composing an interesting shot of a good scene. My eye flows up the path and to the bridge quite nicely. Clarity and sharpness seems lacking a bit, especially on that nice stonework on the bridge. Some curves adjustment and sharpening would have probably helped that.

To play JPEG police for a moment, your file size is only 89k. With up to 150k available, you may have been able to reduce the compression level and gotten a touch more detail into the entry. Also, the method used for resizing often has a serious effect on how much detail there is in the final product.

"ice" on path just really doesn't come through very well here, sorry.

Nice shot but unless I am missing something the only ice I see is in the title, not likely to score well.
01/08/2008 02:46:32 PM
I guess I really don't see it.

Nice composition, I like the three arches & the contrast between the dark & the sky. I don't think this photo shows the concept of ice very stronly.

doesn't look icy to me, the sky is to bright, too
01/06/2008 07:01:25 PM
I'm sure the ice is there...i just don't see it.

the path is icy?! it looks pretty nice to me!

I'll have to say that the path looks very clear from here, and the grass quite green and lovely. Nice light, but not quite what the challenge was asking for.

I like the different layers you were able to create with all the items in the photo. I would like to see the image with a little more contrast.

can't find any ice here
01/04/2008 04:45:54 PM
icy? hmmm.........
01/03/2008 04:02:45 AM
the path doesn't seem the least bit icy to me. the photo should convince me of the title not the other way around
01/03/2008 03:08:54 AM
Don't see how it meets challenge. Maybe after the challenge, you can explain your thoughts on this please? Am curious to know.
01/02/2008 07:12:35 PM
I might be missing it but I don't see any ice in the shot. I feel the sky is over exposed.
01/02/2008 04:30:14 PM
Hmmm... I don't get the ice reference. Maybe I'm narrow minded. I like the shadow created by the structure and the trees. Nice foreground lighting. A graduated ND filter might have given the sky more definition.

I don't see much ice in this picture.
01/01/2008 07:55:03 PM
The ice is not prominent enough and from what I can actually see I don't even know if there is ANY ice here.
