Challenge has finished

This challenge is open to all photographers of all skill levels, and is for images of... ice. Acceptable photo must have ice as the central subject - so ice cubes in a class of soda isn't going to work. Some examples of qualifying photos: ice skating rinks, icicles, a frozen pond, etc. - whatever it is, the ice must be the photo's focus.
