A break in the ice

@sianipops Another try at using lines to draw you into the photo.
@sianipops What a beautiful little trip I took over back roads near my home. Bright sunshine and snow everywhere. It was nice to get out of the house. But not fabulous results. I have found several pictures where I use these lines to draw people in in my stash. I now know why this kind of shot appeals to me.

@joansmor So at first I thought you were talking about the lines on the ice right at the bottom mid to right side of photo - because that is where my eye is drawn to and therefore the focal point. When I pull my eye away from that area, the swath of ice between the snowy banks is wonderful - I think If you could have moved over to the left more and gotten a little lower with your focal point further out, towards the far edge/end of the water, it would make the leading lines in this more dynamic. ( Joan am I making sense? you need to critique my critique as it very new for me to do it)

@sianipops Yeah, I thought those lines were maybe interfering with what I was trying to do. I was unable to move any further to the left. There were bushes there. I was disappointed that I couldn't get to where I wanted for this picture and only included it to show I was working on it. But I appreciate you words.
