Frozen Tree (Dormant)

I chose this photo to represent "dormant" out of the "dead, dying, or dormant" assignment. I chose it because I like how the ice on the tree looks like spots or like a birch tree. I like how the light on the tree makes the ice more prominent. I also chose it because of the angle. I have taken a lot of photos of trees at this angle but none of them in the winter time when there are no leaves on the tree.
