Yes, really nice lead lines on this and I do think your gradients are well done encompassing a wide range. Did you know that there are approximately 256 shades of gray?

No, Not fifty then LOL

Careful with cutting the image in half...remember your horizontal cut rule in photography. I feel had you followed it you would have had a stronger shot, but don't get me wrong....it is a great image.

funny enough,have croped part of beach off,as preferred this

I really like this image. It is evocative of decay and days gone by. It could almost be the 'skeleton' of an old boat. Would the image have been better if the tops of the posts had been more above or below the horizon? Great sky.

Thanks Adam for the comments,have other angles and heights of the posts

It is lovely how you have the base framed in silhouette it holds our eyes in very well.

You are a romantic and see beauty everywhere. I like this but it would have helped to have more of the rose in focus for a stronger photo, however, it is the artistic prerogative and I bow to yours.

I too would have liked the 'core' of the rose in focus. The overall effect is strong and the sharp ice great but I keep feeling that its an image of snow not one of a rose. Still it is a sleeping beauty so maybe the effect and the title match.
