A late freeze kills the first (breva) crop of figs (it happened to me in zone 7B this year) but the new growth after the freeze will generate the main crop. As previously mentioned, there are no flowers visible and no pollination is required for your figs. You probably should have your soil tested by the county extension service (it's free and easy). Or, you may have put too much fertilizer and got too much growth with no fruit. Figs are easy and don't require the TLC that e.g., roses do.
