It's a very good photo, but I think it would give a greater effect if it hadn't been black and white. It is like the ice doesn't show much. I do like, however, that you've darkened the picture a bit.

Thank you so much for the feedback! Thats what my wife thinks too. I like the black and white for the clouds (it was originally a test shot that I ended up loving). Also I thought the color was just too happy, lol.

Aha! I see that. The B&W works very well with the clouds... And yeah... sometimes it is the accidental shots that just happens to be the best. 
Aren't you going to upload it in colour as well? *hint hint*

That is what I use for most everyday snapshots, that or 400, at least for a starting point. This shot was originally just a quick test shot for a circular polarizer I had just bought. It turns out I really liked the shot and kept it. Also I generally like smoother pictures so I usually use lower ISO all the time unless I have to bump it up for lighting reasons. Why do you ask? Would you have used higher? Do you like grainier black and white shots?

On digital in daylight, I never go over 50 ISO. I only up the ISO when I can't use lower.
Noise and grain is very different. On film I rarely use anything but 400, but every once in a while I shoot on FP4+ 125 ISO, where grain is almost non-excistent. I never shoot on very slow films, but you can get EFKE (BW) film down to 25 ISO, and I think you can pull it to 20. Never used it, never will.

Thank you. Yes, I darkened it a bit and then burned some of the shadows a little more to up the contrast.
