I had a suspicion that this lovely falls may look good iced up - and it didn't disappoint!
Very very tricky getting down to it in the ice - thank god for tree roots, had they not been there I'd have been sliding down a long embankment onto ice and rock !
This is a 2 second single shot polarised image edited on the laptop whilst watching telly with a few beers last night, so if there are a few dust specs here and there, I'd not be surprised.
It's all melting in Lancashire today

Personally speaking I think the contrast is too high and the fine mid tones have been lost. It almost looks like you've used the threshold filter and turned everything into pure black and pure white. I know there are other tones in the image but they don't have enough power to model the landscape and give it the sense of space and 3-dimensionality one would expect, because the highlights and accents have dominated the photo at the expense of the mid tone range.
The composition looks good and the feel I get from the curving rock face is like an amphitheatre.
This is only an opinion and not meant to offend.
Alan.
Yeah - it is purposely high contrast Alan, just looking for a really dramatic look on this one.
There are more on my Facebook fan page which are less contrasty though - always a tricky one picking the first one to upload.
When you were stood there, there was a really high contrast look - it was either white (snow/ice) or dark stone/water.
linky to a reasonable image

yours aint a bad shot 
i suppose. I do tutorials for a fee a small fee that may help you with these type of shots. Iam available at short notice.
Tis ok mate being serious for a mo. But i suppose its like marmite love it or hate it, re marmite i hate it, but i like the shot as the treatment gives it a treackly feel
Dave
were you on Pendle on Xmas eve Dave? I was drivig around Pendle and saw a mini just like yours - you were nowhere to be seen, but thought it may have been yours.
Got so many shots at Scalebar yesterday - this one just tickled my fancy, I'm a high contrast lover
I'm sorry Ade, I've not commented for a while.
I've probably done like a lot of others - looked at them and moved on.
You have always liked monos, and I much prefered the ones you were doing 12 months ago. The current monos on the whole are far too stark for me. There appears to be far too few tones here, just the two - Black and White.
V1 for me looks really cold and contrasty, I do like a bit of contrast. I wonder what a grey BG would do for this?
