ok so I downloaded it to get a closer look.. and it seems like you want some sort or criticism? The only things I would change.. or fix.. alot of the background trees look the same... you know how it looks when someone uses the same image or a brush in photoshop too much? its kind of like that.. its more obvious to me on the right side of the foreground tree... same with the bare bushes up front on the right... if you could randomize them some how.. or see how each end of the twigs has 3 points? (i've only seen a few with just 2..)
Other than those two things.. I really do like this! the snow texture is very convincing, the water looks so icy blue and cold. even the small reflections on the water are good.. The main Tree is Beautiful and ties the whole photo together.. er.. digital manip lol Feels like I'm right in Alaska.. just without freezing!

Great i needed that kinda of feedback, ill fix the trees on the right side of the background but about the front bushes its gonna be a bit tricky since its a bare tree with no leaves buried under the snow but ill figure it out no worries

Glad I could be of some help! I have never heard of the program Vue so I have no idea how to fix these things.. your on your own with that lol
I saw no problem with any greying of ice.. but hey maybe it will turn out better who knows! can't wait to see it!!

!! Impressive view !!
Congratulations on the snow work and in the tress also. Usually Vue works do not seem much real in the closest plane.

Thank you friend though the trees were not made by me, i used these from cornucopia3d [link]

I know, but even though just fitting them in the scene and make them look real is work enough.

you are right! the snow looks tons better now!! any tips you might want to share?

Sure thing friend! for starters i completely changed the fractal of the terrain from the previous one, in this image i used the terrain fractal with around 5 small detail to get rid of the tiny details and to speed up the render as well.
As for the snow texture itself i used two mixed fractals with displacement on them and boosted the highlights and anisotropy as much as possible without messing it up to much and used a light bluish highlight color as well. After that i did many test renders to finetune it as much as possible the snowcap on the rocks is another story and it took me a while to get it right. I hope i helped a bit.
