I like it. How funny. Maybe a little more room around the edges? Seems tight to me. Also maybe a little luminance on the green to make it sing…? YMMV, but it’s a cute little scene.

It’s got a nice little story, color and life re-emerging after a long dreary winter. I like that the rock is tilted. It creates some diagonal lines in the rock that play off against the diagonal of the ice coming from the lower left corner. I am usually a believer in getting close to your subject, but I agree with @_Kris that having a little extra breathing room around the edges would help (especially on the left and right) .

Cool shape to that intimate subject. (Pun intended :grinning:)

Since there’s no frame of reference to argue against it, you might make that snow a little more white.
