This is one of the series of photos I took from last year's Ice Storm in Toronto. I am wide open for any suggestion in making this shot a better photograph. I do appreciate your valuable input. Thank you.

Mario,
It looks to me that you did a nice job.  The image is sharp.  The exposure looks good.  It looks like you used a flash with the dark sky as the background.  The composition looks good.  The only think that I think I would do is clone out the piece on the right that does not look attached or crop it out.

Excellent advice, Buddy. Like minds think alike. That is exactly what I've done. Thank you.
( by the way, the background is the snowy ground. I was shooting down.)

Thanks, Mario.  On the left side of the picture I thought that looked like a clouds.

Yes, Buddy. The background can easily be mistaken as the night sky. If I did not shoot it, I would have said the same thing.

I agree with Buddy's advice.
If you are willing to put in some labor on this photo, you might want to replace the background with a brighter one to make the ice stand out more.
