Annika, You’ve got a fine pattern here in the ice, with lots of interesting textures and shapes. My personal feeling in a view like this is to keep the viewer’s eyes moving throughout the entire frame. In a view like this, I’d dodge the brighter tones in the corners as the darkness there minimizes my visual exploration.
