Nice subject matter with interesting details. The image is framed well, too. If I have one criticism I would say that the tone of the image is rather flat. I think it's a white balance issue, leaving the snow gray rather than white because your camera's sensor is trying to find middle gray. If that were corrected I think the snow would have been white and the orange part of the split pods would have popped (no pun intended) and given you a very high scoring image.
This is an elegant portrait of milkweed pods. Those two seem to be smiling at the viewer. I like the delicate background vegetation. The lighting brings an immediate sense of winter.
