Default Icy Waterfall

In this picture I was trying to get the focus to be the ice formation. I'm not sure I have done that or not. I also think that not having a big focus to the picture is a good thing, because it is such an amazing scene. What do you all think.

I love it, the ice formation is amazing and the waterfall is great, the two together is even better and the whole scene is very cool. I wanna hang it on my wall!

I like the overall effect. However I don't think that the ice formation wins the contest for my attention: my eye goes to the waterfall in the background first, and then I notice the ice formation. It feels a bit awkward for my eye to rest on the left, so I go back to the waterfall. But as I said, I like the grand scale of the whole picture.

Thanks for the compliments. I slipped and fell into the freezing water about ten seconds after taking this picture, so I am glad its appreciated.

Nice capture, There is too many things in this picture for us to concentrate on the ice formation ( your main focus ). Right now what stands out is the waterfall and it is very nice.
To get us to see that ice formation you could have gotten closer to it with a different angle.

You have a great shot and the fact that you had to pay a price (shiver) for taking it makes it even better in my book. I enjoyed the pic.
