Duncan Rawlinson photographed this winter scene at Smugglers Cove in Ivy Lea, Ontario, Canada. Fresh snow covers the shoreline and clings to the branches of deciduous trees in the foreground, while dark evergreens rise behind them. Ice plates float in the open water near the shore, their edges defined against the dark surface. Stones rest on the frozen shallows, and the overcast light softens the contrast between snow, ice, and forest. The composition leads from the detailed ice formations in the lower frame through the still water to the wooded backdrop. This photograph documents a sheltered cove during winter, where ice and snow alter the familiar shoreline into a study in texture and muted color
