Having a lot of trouble understanding the Golden Ratio, I have tried to research it but it doesn't make a lot of sense. I get it to a point, but I don't get how to take a picture utilizing it.

I'm glad I am not where you are... Brrr! Love the greens and whites. A little busy but nice.

Nice and a rare find. I wonder if a more angular lighting could have made for a more dramatic image, possibly underexposing a bit to keep more texture in the ice. Also, while I guess that in a large print this would be less of a problem, at this resolution a more out of focus background would have helped a lot defining the spiral further. Very interesting image.

Per your request. I think you managed to meet the challenge by finding a unique natural formation which is definitely cool. But it was not photographed in a unique way and it really looks like a snap shot. The lighting is very flat but I think the biggest downfall is that it is just too busy. The ice formation is interesting but you lose much impact with all of the leaves and branches/twigs everywhere. I think if you could have kept the ice but physically removed much of the distracting elements that would help. The colors are very boring, its ice and rock so not much you can do about that but I contrasty black and white conversion would make it more interesting. Don't be disheartened, many of us start here just learning our ways, just look at some of my first entries. I hope this helped some, if you have any other questions feel free to PM me.

Pretty cool effect you have here, but i feel the main problem is that there is no real focal point. Well not that I can see, I could be wrong, I don't see what you saw.
