1. When composing this photo I was trying to capture the ice on the rocks and fallen tree. upstream from this spot about 3 feet is a giant piece of concrete that the water flows over, which was a distraction I choose to avoid. Also downstream there was a lot of garbage, so I chose to leave that out too. I shot horizontally to avoid both of these tragedies, and to bring more of the ice covered wood into the photo.

2. I used a slow shutter speed to show the moving water and to make the water bury to make the icicles and ice covered tree stand out.

3. This photo was taken under natural partial sunlight in the morning to create a soft light with a glare on the ice.

4. The hardest part about taking this photo was that the water was obviously very cold and the terrain was just a bit slippery and wet. I was very careful not to drop my camera or my backside into the water and actually had to jump across a treacherous cold gap to get the photo.

5. This photo was taken on a morning when the snow was melting and I wanted to capture the ice on top of the wood, as well as the flowing water to show the change of the seasons.
