    I really like it and the fact that you caught that ice just as it was going over! One small thing i might have to say is it seems just a tad bit bright IMO.
    Love the lines of the water in shot 2 as well!

    I like both shots, but I prefer shot 1. Shot 2 is very cool but it's a bit soft for me. In shot one, I find the falling ice a bit dark and maybe some dodging could bring out more highlights.
    Hope that helps

    When I first looked at shot 2 I also thought it was a tad soft and wanted to see the smooth water sharpened. Then I realised it's all showing movement and decided not to mention it. I am kind of torn between leaving it as is or seeing the smooth water sharpened a bit.
    Either way I like the shot very much.
