The icy water of this Stockholm dock is the center of attention in this closely cropped landscape photography by Jo Crowther.

The bright, post-box red of the ship's hull springs out of the composition; the only shock of color in this otherwise tonally muted display of blue-grays and white.

The selection of this red-hulled boat is canny; on opposite positions of the color wheel, red and blue are naturally contrasting. Where blue is cool, red is warm, and where blue recedes, red looms large.

The floating shards of ice in the freezing waters split to show the calm and mirror-like surface of the sea underneath. Frost rugs the dock with minuscule icy grass, adding another layer of coolness to this composition. Labeled by Maker,Numbered See less
