I love the way that a small amount of snow brings out geometric shapes that might otherwise be hidden from view, like these sinuous curves at the edge of the marsh. The iced-over water has a darker tone that contrasts with the white of the snow and gives this photo an abstract quality that I really like. The texture of the wood in the foreground and its angular line add another element of contrast.
This shot is somewhat atypical for me in that it does not contain living creatures and is not a close-up—some days shapes and patterns and light and geometry are sufficient to attract my attention.

I like shots like that too. I always wonder what sculpted the ice in the crazy shapes it can become.
Wonderful composition, grasshopper! Your viewers eyes are are led from the bottom up to the top and the curving lines keep your eyes fixed for awhile in the center and then on up to the top. EXCELLENT!
Ice sure can be endlessly fascinating! Great shot.
