I was looking for some abstracts along the edges of the pond when I noticed the pine needle partially frozen in the ice with these wonderful ice patterns surrounding it.

I like the composition but I'd be tempted to boost the contrasts if it didn't diminish any of the detail. This is a very relaxing image to me.

Ed,
I like the angle of the pine needle to the lines of the ice and the
texture in the photo. Well done.

Fantastic image, love the patterns in the ice and the captured pine needle is perfectly positioned!
