This is how it could look
Atmospheric, melancholy, beautiful late winter river scene: large, pale, somewhat gaunt, deeply tired ice spirit standing at river's edge — their post guarded all winter. Ice spirit: pale, angular, made of old ice (grey, weathered, pockmarked late-winter ice), a little worn, a little tired, but still standing. River: ice breaking up at edges, showing dark water. Ice spirit: one hand on last intact ice plate, looking downstream where (barely visible in distance) a small spring-green light is visible — first whisper of spring. Expression: not sad, but deeply philosophical — they know this is how it always goes.
