5 bracketed exposures, HEC merge and resized for the web. The Wenatchee river ice is thicker now, big cracks in it and makes some awesome noices. Supposed to get warmer this weekend, so breakup of the ice should be interesting.

Why compelling
Well, I liked this perspective over the river looking down on it with it receding into the background under the train trestle, and under another bridge you cannot see. I liked the tree in the foreground at an angle kind of from the lower left corner. The tree is pointing towards the opposite corner and towards the main cloud in the cold blue sky. The scene is nothing spectacular with the texture of the ice and such, it was the tree locked in it that made the shot to me. Waters brought it here and water has frozen and locked it place.
