I just commented on another shot and then found those comments in the comment section of this shot. Forgive me if you received comments from me on this shot already - but they did not pertain to your shot. The following comments do:

I'm having trouble blending the subject with the title. Assuming this is a shot of ice, I can see a sort of radiating freeze pattern - but it's not quite clear what the pattern is in the upper left corner of the frame.

Looks like ice. Nice detail in it but having a hard time seeing stars.

Comment by Melethia:
Is it just me, or does that cow have an oddly huge head? Nice light in the trees but the processing turned blown highlights into vibrant aqua bits. Who's to say they weren't there, though?

I'm afraid that what you have done (pro bono diphoco) is only slightly outrageous: your eye for colour and form betray you, and there is a cow. Vivat bovinia.

nice shot, but would have been better if you had rotated 180

Comment by Paul:
I gave a low score so I should justify it. I think the black point has been set too high which makes the cow look flat, there is a good deal of noise in the face of the cow too. Also, there are some blown highlights in the upper branches of the tree. All correctable.

Composition-wise I think chopping off the top of the tree doesn't do a lot for the image. Goodness me I've said too much, and actually I'm not good enough myself to be so bold with my critique; but I do think I should justify my score.

Subject-wise, I think there would be quite a lot of potential here but a lot of it goes unrealised.
