Hi Rich. Your photos took me back to times we (my parents and brothers) spent ice fishing. I recall many cold hours (especially if it was windy) with few fish caught. I remember another time in the depths of a Michigan winter when our parents visited friends who lived beside a small late. Bored by the hours of adults yakking, we three kids (probably around ages 8, 10, and 12) went out for a walk. Of course the lake was our destination and we walked out a ways and wandered around the middle of the lake. When we sought to return we found that the sun, weak as it was that day, had melted the ice near the shoreline, leaving 6 to 10 feet of open and very cold water the shoreline. We had to search for nearly an hour to find a way safely back on land.

Grant, thanks for again offering your help. I'm using Photoshop Elements; while I haven't found a Selective Color adjustment, there are a couple of ways to simulate one. I just haven't yet found one that produces the consistent results I want.
