This is nice, but it's a little bland. Maybe if you made it a little more contrasty.

In a way, it's interesting that the horizon disappears, but it also bothers me for some reason. The ice flow looks like it's sloping off to the left a little.

I could swim in that - being 100 degrees in NYC today. The simplicity lends itself to a Zen subject - but not a rich experience of enlightenment or viewing. Something is missing.
