Questions to guide your feedback
While searching for some smaller scenes in the ice, I came across this. Initially, part of the ice formation looked like a bird and caught my attention. Once I looked at it on my computer, the entire scene reminded me of a weather pattern from space or a drone shot of some icebergs from above.

Image Description
I chose a panoramic crop since I felt it worked the best to convey a sense of mystery. The original 3:2 version revealed too much ice and kind of took away the attention of the ice pattern in the middle of the frame.
