Reason: This was promoted to Quality Image at Commons a while back, and after speaking with Durova, who thought this might have a chance at FP, I've decided to give it a shot. It's of high technical quality as far as I can tell, and carries a fair amount of encyclopedic value.

Oppose Sorry, I just don't think the composition is good enough. The out-of-focus plants in the foreground are distracting and there isn't really a clear subject. You might have more luck with a careful crop, but a re-shoot would be better (but perhaps not very easy with something like this). Personally, I would have gone right down to the bank a yard or so downstream from the waterfall and crouched down to take the photo, looking along the waterfall, which would emphasise the structure of the icicles - but that's just me.
