Taken for the purpose of this challenge... The water had a thin layer of ice over some of it so I used my nd400 filter to make the rest of the water \"still\" because it was windy... and the sky was a little dull, so I used the filter for the purpose of adding some drama to the shot.
pw.. from RAW to JPG - some color adjusments and cropped a boat and a dark road from the picture...+ sharpened for the web...

The bottom of the ice looks a bit weird to me. Almost like an effect or something that was overused. If this was advanced I would recomend burning the edge of the pond to get rid of that.
