Branching

Hello from the Critique Club-
Photos of Iceland are almost always beautiful, and this is no exception. I really like the piece of water you chose to photograph. It is one that is not quite as instantaneously identifiable as a body of water. I especially like the way the blue in the top left merges into the turbulent area of the water. The movement of the water gives a very soothing and dreamy feel to this image. In regard to the challenge, as many others noted, some aspects of this make it less abstract. I agree that the branches, and also the snowbank, detract from the “abstractness” of things, and also that they are somewhat distracting in the image. I would have preferred the scene without either of these elements. If getting rid of these elements and keeping this portion of the river in the composition wasn’t an option, I would have considered using some camera movement in addition to the movement of the water. Doing so would decrease how starkly the branches and snowbank contrast with the fluidity of the water.

Lovely animal captured with nice focus and no loss of detail even though it's white. Love the eye colour too, good job.

Excellent capture. Lighting is little too strong and it's creating shadows on the other side. Still one of my top score, good luck.

He certainly does look sly with those narrowed eyes. Really nice detail.
