The title of the image is misleading as the trees in the foreground partially obstruct the view of the frost and edge of the swamp. Image is sharp and well-exposed.

Maker has done a good job of addressing the technical elements. The waterdrops add to the subject and composition. Note the light gray area on the left edge - consider toning down as it distracts from the main subject.

The dog's head is not quite sharp. Capture the foreground plus dog. Reduce the background by 3 f-stops to reduce distraction.

Zeroing in on the figures in this image could have added some significant elements of interest, Vertical crop from right to the side of the road in the front. Vertical crop on the right halfway to the roadside on the left. 1/4 horizontal crop from top.
