The reflection is what really makes this photo for me, if I were to comment on one thing it would be the noise in the trees in the middle of the image. For me this detracts a little from the beautiful reflection and the great breaking up of the light in the upper section.
I don't know what editing software you are using, but I think I would have just lowered the black levels slightly to make the trees a true silhouette.
Other than that, a truly beautiful image.

Thanks, great critique. I used Photomatix Pro for the tone mapping. HDR processing has a tendency to accentuate noise, so that's a good note, maybe I'll go back and do some noise reduction.

Why thank you! I really should get knee-deep in snow more often, so long as I have my camera with me, that is.

I always try to have a camera in tow; you can never be sure when your dream scenes will pay you a fleeting visit.

I'll let you into my secret wish.. it's been many years that I've loved that area from afar.. and always want to visit.. I still hope to one day.. and I've even written (half) a book as yet, about that area.... dont ask me why .. I've always had a thing about NE

Hopefully someday you can make it out here. There's no other place I'd rather be, especially in the autumn.

Thanks so much. It wasn't until right around the time that I shot this that I realized how difficult it really is to establish a sense of place in a photograph.

I just love HDR, and this is a perfect example of why--the colors are gorgeous!

Exactly. I love the luminance and chrominance ranges that HDR affords. I love working with such a wide range of colors in post.
