Photographer: David SkandersonPhoto taken: January 13, 2023, in the Montlake neighborhood of SeattlePhotographer’s description: “This morning’s below-freezing temperatures formed a beautiful pattern on my car’s windshield. I captured this shot on my iPhone 10, with the tree’s reflection against the winter sky.”Critique: “This is a pleasure to behold. The interaction between the ice crystals and the branches appears as if they are competing for our attention, resulting in a captivating image. The gray winter sky serves as a perfect, uncluttered background for the dark branches and the white ice to stand out equally. A fantastic picture.
