This is one of my 10s - I like it very much. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:
1. This has such a cinematic feel - straight out of a Bond or Bourne movie, I think there are number of elements that have contributed to that.
2. The coloration - cool near-monochrome is perfectly judged, as is the toning/curves - plenty of highlights but none blown.
3. The cable lines give a great sense of depth, the eyes follow into the snowy murkiness.
4. Perfect DOF for this scene - the crisp cable car and enough of the distant scenery to set the context.
5. The falling snow - not your doing, but it adds much to the scene, giving in a sense of dynamism.
Overall, not one that I would have picked up in my old comment series but I'm glad I'm doing so now. I like the competent slickness of this image and how it is more than the sum of its parts.
