I think David has started a craze!!! I like number 3, very sharp from top to bottom.

Thanks for the comment Andrew, must admit I'm not sure which one I like best

I also prefer the third one, although the drip is better in No. 1. No. 2 could do with a heavy crop from the right side. There's a lot of sky there doing nothing.
Keep up the good work,
David

Thanks for your comments David, very much appreciated
I take your point about cropping No. 2 to balance the image, I had actually considered it but I kind of like the out of focus clouds in the back ground, just a personal thing

From my direction I think No.3 is the best. I do prefer the more reflective lighting of No.2 but unfortunately it does not have a drip

I would love to join this craze but while we have some icicles they were formed yesterday and today we have not been above freezing so no drips

However yours look great

I have icicle envy! Love them all but number 1 stands out as a cracker.

Thanks Andrew, I'm enjoyed taking these but I guess there could be a danger of icicle overload
