Greetings from the Critique Club :)
This received a moderate score so let me figure out why. The first thing I notice is that there is no main subject. There are lots of them, but my eye is not drawn to any particular part of the image. There is no anchor so my eye wanders, taking in the waterscape but never landing on anything that is really interesting.
The intrigue that Drew may have fallen through the ice is not supported by the image by showing a hole in the ice. Now that would have added a story and some drama.
The colors are nice, the snow around the base of the trees is nice, the orange of the leaves adds a great accent. But there is nothing that pulls me into the photo. The lighting is flat - overcast I assume so no highlights to exploit.
In advanced editing you could dodge and burn to bring out the detail and highlights on parts of the image to create a focal point. The leaves are a candidate for that, but otherwise there is no other candidate that could be highlighted.
But it is a nice, calming photo.
Please feel free to contact me via the PM system

| Morbid sense of humor (which I like). Might be more interesting if we could see the "break" in the ice. |
