    #3. i like the curious forms and the juxtaposition of the moving water to the frozen water.

    When you come to a door... walk through it.
    If it's locked... find an open window.

    I have to say I really like all 3, nice captures. Can't really decide on which one I like best.

    I like them all! #2 and #3 seem to be more complex where your eye wanders around the image because there is much to see. #1 Screams Ice more than the others.

    I agree that all 3 are beautiful and would work well for this challenge. I am personally drawn to #3 most but can see that #1 says ice very well.

    I saw #1 when I first opened this thread and thought "Wow! this is the perfect ice shot!" I really like it and it really nails the theme.

    Then, I scrolled down to #2 (it's very nice) and then to #3 (another really awesome shot).

    Now, I can't decide which I like better--#3 or #2. I love the composition in #3 and as already said, the contrast between the ice and the moving water really adds to the overall effect. I really like #1 for this theme though.

    Congrats on two great shots and good luck choosing between them.

    Number 1 is my favorite of the set. While the others have some amazing detail and patterns, they feel a bit busy and my eyes have trouble landing on one place. I think the blue sky in #1 sets the subject off just enough.
