The light and shadows are fantastic! Would be engaging even without the frozen water, but with? Oh my, just wonderful! I see nothing to change except your signature; it's quite distracting in that color and position.

Composition, light and detail are spot on. There's even an element of story telling in this still life. It's well conceived and executed; a winner.

I think that there is one area of concern, that is the bright snowy area on top of the glass bulb. It is a bit bright. If you shot this in RAW, then selecting that area (or painting it in LR) should allow you to tone down the bright spot a bit. Not a deal breaker, just a nit pick.

Tone down the upper left ice/glass a little bit.
Move the signature to the lower right and subdue it.

I like it. I would clone-out the wood knot in the lower left corner. Try to avoid random, lighter-colored details in the corners of the frame and along the edges. You might pull the entire left margin into the frame to remove both the knot in the corner and along the left edge, or keep the same size and clone-away. If making the changes, clone way the small white spot (knot?) also next to the larger knot on the left. Moving the watermark to the lower right corner also would be less distracting from the content of the image.

Bin the signature - or at least (as Linda says) put in a corner and in a less obtrusive format. Leave everything else alone.
