- Pyrus pyrifolia branches, Asian Pear, Shinko cultivar, in blizzard aftermath. -- PumpkinSky talk 15:40, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support -- PumpkinSky talk 15:40, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support A very genuine composition with pastel colors. I do enjoy this image quite a lot. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 15:47, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
* Support Per Johann. In addition, the main branches are on the rule of thirds line and very sharp. This almost looks like it was taken looking up to the sky but I'm pretty sure it was taken looking into the fallen snow. HalfGig talk 18:05, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

- Support - Delicate, with what feels to me like a Japanese aesthetic. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:28, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support per Ikan. What do we see in the background? --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:54, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support per Ikan. I presume the background is a wall? Daniel Case (talk) 07:06, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support Very nice colors and the double textures make the image. Suggestion: I think I would crop just a sliver of the bottom to not get that last ice blob cut. Just the branch makes for a cleaner finish. See note. Or perhaps clone out the blob. --cart-Talk 10:40, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment @Johann Jaritz, HalfGig, Ikan Kekek, Martin Falbisoner, and Daniel Case: @W.carter: All, thanks for the supports! So that everyone knows, the background is not a wall. HalfGig was on the right track, it's fallen snow on the ground. These are the low branches on an Asian Pear tree. The camera was on a tripod and aimed downward at a sharp angle. Cart, I will look at your suggestions. PumpkinSky talk 12:02, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- @W.carter: I tried to clone it, but since the ice is also over the twig, it still looked weird. So I went with the small crop. I agree it looks better. Thanks! PumpkinSky talk 12:15, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
