    I really like the colour, texture, and exposure in this image, but the compsition isn't quite doing it for me. I'm afraid that I can't put my finger on it, but something just doesn't 'click' here.

    I quite like the texture of the ice here. Perhaps this should have been two images. Zoom in on the "round potato" things on the right and/or zoom in on the icicles on the left.

    Maybe something to break the patterns would help?

    I actually think this is quite well done. I like the patterns.

    For me it's about guiding the eye and it's currently not being as well guided as it could be. The bottom right is too bright and I would darken it. Then I would slightly lighten the brown peering through the snow at mid left. That makes that portion the focal point and the image IMO becomes much stronger. Hope that helps,
