So pretty! I love the tones in this so much; you have a gift for finding the sublime from an elevated position that we don't get to normally see.

A terrific image with so many different forms of snow and ice. A very well designed image.
Congrats

Rhythmic and exciting. Triangular geometry on the left, almost fractal on the right, and they seem to stitch together nicely. The ice is very interesting, breaking up, floating off for a bit, then ingathering anew. Each piece of ice has its own pattern of white and light gray-blue. Fronted by a stolid audience of trees. And those lines of eyes, I mean floats, looking up at us. There's a sense of cold mindlessness, but serenely so. Absolutely artfully seen and crisply presented.
One of four(!) second favorites of the challenge.

Compelling composition, great minimal color palette, and the birds-eye view is awesome. My choice for blue.
