Greetings from the Critique Club
Initial thoughts/My opinion
Lots of edges and texture on various length-scales, starting by the frost/snow on the large ice plates via the small ice pieces up to the largest one. One feels the cold air at this winter lake.
However, a woow-factor is somehow missing.
Composition/Content
On the one hand the content is well chosen because a lot of sharp, well defined edges are shown. On the other hand, the composition is somewhat flat: it's more like a texture image with the third dimension missing.
Not sure if a tighter crop, a lower angle or both would have worked better, but that's were I see the major improvement possibilities.
While almost all shades of grey from black to white are included it appears also to be of rather low contrast. Maybe a more artistic approach with strong contrast could be a solution. However, that's not everybody's taste.
Also, B&W works of course well here, but a blue tint might have been as good.
Camera work -technically
No issue that I can see. The use of a wide DOF works well. Exposure is also OK
Digital Processing - Technical
Also nothing special to be mentioned. Especially sharpness shouldn't be increased, otherwise it would become to grainy
Fits the challenge
Yes, in the literal sense of "on the edge".
Good luck for you further submissions
As this is one of my first Critique Club critiques, it would be helpful to get some feedback if you like.
