EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Steffen Schmidt, the port of Romanshorn in Switzerland is transformed into a winter wonderland. The boats docked at Lake Constance are completely enveloped in a thick layer of ice, creating a mesmerizing sight that showcases the power and beauty of nature. The icy exterior gives the scene an ethereal quality, with every rope and ladder covered in glistening frost. Against the backdrop of an overcast sky, the white color palette dominates, contrasting against the dark stone breakwater and urban cityscape. The stillness of the water reflects both the cold temperatures and tranquility of this frozen landscape. With no people present, this image highlights how seasons can dramatically alter our surroundings. Winter has cast its spell on Romanshorn, transforming it into a surreal tableau where boats appear as if suspended in time. Despite their immobility under nature's icy grip, there is an underlying sense of anticipation for warmer days to come. Schmidt's creative use of composition draws attention to every intricate detail within this wintry scene - from each boat to every tree-lined horizon line. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst harsh weather conditions, there is undeniable beauty waiting to be discovered if we take a moment to appreciate it.
