I think this image would have been much better without the trees or hill in the background. Get closer, take several angles and find the best section of the image. Your color treatment matched well with your subject. 6
I really like the blue for cold duotones, the image is clean but I think there is too much going on to make this a special image. The complicated branches and loads of ice ultimately make this too busy, maybe a different angle using the ice against the lake only would work better
