Congrats on your top10, excellent shot. Just wonder why in the world you needed to add that pseudo-analog border

The bit of rock in the top corner sort of anchors this one to reality, instead of it just being a total abstract of the ice. It's an interesting look at the natural world in action.
We very rarely see any kind of ice like this where I live, and then it's only where there is very shallow water in manmade things like bird baths.

This is a very crisp stop-motion. These tend to take a combination of skill, luck, and patience (or a huge lens). The focus appears to be dead-on to me. I also like the aperture choice to lock on the foreground but blur the backdrop. For consideration: You might have tried for a bit of panning motion in the background to give more of the impression of movement. Everything is so stopped, the animal (deer?) almost appears to be suspended there in the air. Also, the placement in the frame seems very central. It might be nice to play with the crop to get a bit more running room ahead of him, placing him a a bit more to the left of the frame. The same is generally true for the horizontal, but to add height would be to diminish the presence of the deer, so I'd experiment with it, but I can see where you'd be less inclined to make that change. Overall, a very nice shot. Great capture!
