What a lovely shot! Having those trees in the foreground really makes it.
And I am jealous... I am sitting here in the heat (high 90s F) and humidity, and it isn't even summer yet *sigh* Maybe I'll cool off if I keep looking at your lovely image :-)

A great contrast between the white and the gray-blue.

Nice framing, and use of the dark red barn to break up the monochrome sense of the shot. It was some storm.

Well captured and presented.

This is neat because it looks like the foreground is in focus and the structure is in focus and the rest is not.

A tremendous DOF. And the ice is just a unique event. The barn gives a point of focus and sense of size. Great! You have captured the effect of the ice.

  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very nice. The frost covered trees framing the image and everything looking sharp all the way to the background. Well done! Must have been very cold and no sun for the frost to stay on the trees like that.

Nice hidden house among the trees.

Great DOF and clarity! 7

PERFECTLY composed! All of the branches... all of the white... and then that pop of red. I hope this does well for you.

The sky is a bit blotchy/banding from processing, but that's minor.

Nice focus with great muted tones and a strong composition. There is some pixellation going on here which is unfortunate because this is a very nice image.

lovely scene. might have cropped a bit off the left to avoid a close-to-center crop, but its not really that big of a problem. the details in the front trees are very pretty, almost an hdr effect. 7

Nice framing, I think a crop placing the house according to the Rule of Thirds would make a better composition.
