I saw these icicles from above and imagined that a low viewpoint might be good. There was no room for a tripod so I Placed the camera on a rock just above the water surface. I was really surprised that the image was level and no rotating was needed.

This picture is absolutely fantastic, it is so much fun to photograph ice but the down side is that it is usually so cold;-) Well done - congratulations!
This is amazing - congratulations on the ribbon. What's even more amazing is what you did to get the shot. This is a fantastic perspective. Great work!!
Awesome shot, but I would have liked to seen what you did in ps in your comments. To me it's more important than the EXIF bc half the stuff you put is in the photograph Info right to the left of it.
Congratulations on second place! This was one of my favorites in this challenge-the angle of camera is perfect..good thing you found that rock to put it on..wonderful image.
I know this is starting to sound like a broken record but congrats on the ribbon, well deserved, absolutely love this image, just added it to my favorites.
What fantastic, biting clarity you have here...emphasised by the cold blues of the shot. POV very clever but wonder if true Zen-like perfection could have been achieved by ensuring island didn't overlap with icicles on the right....true separation would highlighted the three sections of the photo better. (Genuinely a minor niggle). If you are Icelandic (which seems likely) then I should say something like 'Til hamingju'...I have no idea what it means but it seems to be a common comment on Icelandic pics!
8 - Excellent. An almost perfect reflection, barring perspective(s). Criticism; difficult, perhaps slightly enhancing the 'blue' of the ice more, the browns in the rocks and pinks in the sunset/rise, may have made this even better in my opinion. Not sure on the frame, works but, at this size, not sure. Of course this size does not do this justice - but you know that.
A low angle shot showing us the perspective of getting close to cold, flat, clear waters. The ice on the rocks and the close proximety to the water makes my teeth chatter as I gaze upon this image. As added interest to the composition we see a rock straight ahead of us such that I get the impression of steering through these large rocks as we navigate through a extremely cold river.
Perfect title! I always look at the picture before the title (like most people I expect) and the first thing I thought of was how still and calm everything was, just frozen in time. You captured the mood the title perfectly, nice shot! Wonderful contrast and exposure.
WOW... Were you UNDER the rocks to take this shot?!? ;-) Fantastic! Clarity, color tones, processing - all terrific. Great job. 9 (Slightly tilted horizon - otherwise would have been a hands-down 10.)
frozen moment really is a triffic shot and love the cool calm turquise colors and the wonderful reflection..... Calm and peaceful composition and has my top votes as well
