Nice entry for this contest! I can see the river is cold and the frost has formed on the rocks.
Well captured with good stop of this action, well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, the colors and tones appear natural.
Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

This icy sight makes me freezing, just looking at your landscape. The snow and ice on the rocks and the shores of the river impressive. The game of sunlight and shadows is intriguing. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of light and color and the refinement of detail. I like your POV. The diagonal flow of the river pleases the eyes of the viewer. The landscape is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Literally frozen river. It's an interesting composition and an apt entry for the Cold photography contest. Such clicks bring to the fore exciting facets of nature. Water freezing to ice and then ice melting back- so goes the cycle of nature. Best wishes for the contest

Wow! Beautiful shot here! So many sharp details to see. The snow on the rocks and the cool blue sky definitley show how cold it was. The water is in beautiful stop motion, almost frozen in time;) The composition is full and a pleasure to view, nicely balanced. Well done, all the best in the contest

This is a wonderful contest entry with the perfect topic presentation is such a natural way - stunning moment, wonderful distance , excellent angle, a very wonderful composition, clear and sharp in details with perfect contrast and lighting
I think these cold moments at the point to shift the floating water into ice and therefore this is so special - excellent picture, thanks for sharing and all the best of luck for the contest

Winter is often described as drab, but this depiction of it is wonderful. My eye enters at the cascading falls and follows the water down to the best part-the swirls of water with their movement and color!

This is a gorgeous setting, with the colors blue and greenish, along with the whites and browns for the "cold" contest. I never care for the browns in winter but that's the way it is and may cause us to appreciate more the other colors.
