Finally figured this one out. The tree is the "subject" the ice and frigid water is the environment. This was difficult for me because the focus does not seem to be on the tree. In fact, I couldn't find any element that had enough focus to be the actual subject. Now, I will admit a higher pixilated shot might be different. This could be stunning in the raw, but reducing it might have "damaged" the focus. So the fact that I think it is oof might not be the reality of things. It just makes it seem real flat to me.

I don't think this meets the challenge, as it is not a portrait.
