It actually made me think of a woodlouse, but it's much more colourful.

At least you're getting people to think the same things. Same thing I thought, fibonacci, fibonacci ... I like it.

Normally I don't read other peoples' comments before commenting myself. But I did happen to read Robert's. I smiled immediately as that was my instant reaction too when I opened this. The composition is just wonderful.

Neil Van Gogh, I presume?

ETA: I just realized EVERYONE sees the same thing :-)

My first impression was, WOW! For me, the processing creates the illusion of movement - the swirl in the sky overlaps the tree and it looks like leaves being blown about. I like the lighting and the bw conversion is really good too. I also like the way the light isolates the tree and broken ice from the rest of the image, so for me, the pp'ing does a good job of isolating the subjects (which to me seem to be the foreground ice and tree). The swirling sky is fabulous and definitely "van gogh-ey", and clearly not the subject. Well done.

Really loving this. The mood is great. I like how it makes me delve in to study it further.

First Impressions: Dark and moody. Dynamic elements - swirls, broken ice, effect of wind on the tree. Composition with two focal points - bright swirl on the sky, bright ice.
Technique: are the sky swirls frost on the lens? They look like frozen water on a window pane.
Suggestions: maybe choosing one focal point (swirls) would give more impact

Overall an interesting photo in b&w moody style.
