Description You can call me a smartarse for putting this in waterscapes - but it does say the water can be flowing or standing, so I'm going to assume that frozen counts too.

I'd really like some constructive feedback on this piece. Since the pic needs to be fairly high-contrast in order to stand out, I thought about doing some very mild manipulation - I've touched up the existing image very little. Any tips from the really great photographers out there at all?

For anybody interested in the shot, it was taken under the Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand, and the tunnel here was big enough to crawl through. I just loved the way the ice darkened towards the centre of the tunnel, and the way the folding sheets of ice to the sides gives the picture an abstract feel. Hope you like it!

It's a shame about all that crumbled ice and water down the bottom, you couldn't manage to p/s it out in the end?

It stands out so much on this site, I haven't seen anything like it. It's cool

Sorry I was so shitty on the way up btw. It was an amazing sight The photos of it on my wall make me realise just how magnificent it is. Thank you for taking me up there

I ended up thinking that it actually needed the ice there - it adds a bit of texture to it. (And yes, it was far too difficult to remove )

Cool? I see what you did there. Ice job, babe

Glad you appreciate it - it's usually the way to like stuff like that more on the way down!

Bloody hell, emote overdrive.

That was the reaction I was hoping to get from at least one person

It's a tunnel in the ice of a glacier. The folds of the ice are what give it that abstract look.

Sort of looks like a rose, the way the ice is layered!
Very cool pic, it's so crisp and clear I thought it was digital art or something. I can't offer much critique since I don't exactly do much photography, though.

Wow, this is a gorgeous shot! I've never seen anything like it. I'm not a "really good photographer" so I'm afraid I won't be too helpful with the tips, but I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this!

Hey, thanks very much for the comment/fave!

Don't worry about not being able to offer much advice; I've been racking my brains over this for a while now.

Glad you liked the shot though!
