Red Ice

The photo above is called Red ice and was taken and posted by dowdall of DeviantArt. There doesn't really seem to be much to this picture at first glance, it's just pretty and well done. Thinking more deeply about it though I have come to think that there was a lot of thought put into the taking of this picture. Lighting, weather, positioning, and possibly something else. This something else, I think, is a message of sorts. I may be totally wrong since the artist doesn't state that it has a meaning, but I think it does. This meaning may be different to other people as the meaning is interpreted differently by everyone but I think it's trying to show that the simple things, the ones we tend to forget, are the things that can be most important. It could also be showing that fragile things, such as leaves, have some resistance to things, such as frost and that we should try persevere challenges in life too. As well as taking a beautiful photo dowdall has done a great job of trying to make viewers think, whether they realized it or not.
