Confused, and confusing - to my eye. Might work in a series of shots, but not as a standalone image in my opinion. Good range f tones though. The long snow-covered object on the right is very distracting.

Confused, yes this is also my thought. I have a hard time to discern what is refection from other stuff (for a lack of a better word). It could be called Winter chaos…

I'd suggest to turn the image 180 degree to have the trees standing upright. Confusion will arise at a later and less confusing point then ... ;)

Thank you gentlemen! Interesting comments. I was really keen on seeing how others might react to this picture. To me it's content and meaning is clear. It is a winter day reflection of (mainly) snowy spruce trees on a small pond. Yes, there is a lot of chaos. But that't how I saw this location. Not orderly, not willing to please the human eye. It was as it is. Jim is right, btw. It is a part of a larger series. Thank you all, once more!
