Gorgeous photo, but it doesn't make me scared! 7 anyways.

Yes, the movement is reminiscent of Hokusai but of course realized with more elements that the purity of a single angry wave.
Your composition is masterly. I particularly like the "draped" mountains

I like the concept, very unique take on the challenge (Hokusai connection is spot on). Lovely circular composition and BW gradient tones.
Technically, I think a square crop would be more suitable to represent the rotation. I guess there were distractions on the left you couldn't avoid.

I really love black and white and subject matter. You have a good eye. I am wondering what effect you could get if you shot from a lower angle so the moon was closer to the upper third of the photo? Nice work!

Beautiful b&w image. It has such a cold lonely feel.

Originally posted by RyanW: personally, the grass in front ruin the symmetry for me. i tried with a printscreen and cropped the image just above the grass and prefer that look substantially more. the grass draws your eye down to the bottom 10% or so of the image, and away from the mountain, which i think would be your primary subject based on the title. there is sufficient evidence of the cold weather in the ice on the lake and snows on the mountain. a 6 7 from me (after finishing and reviewing), though I could easily see voting higher without the grass

Please refer to the comment below from tvsometime. He explains well the need for the foreground grasses. It's a landscape photographer technique essential to add a sense of three dimensions.

Congrats on your 6.x Richard! I feel that the some comments and low votes however were particularly insensitive and very judgemental. Sure; art, subjective, opinions, but book covers are seldom 100% accurate to the content within. There's a saying "Do not judge a book by it's cover" for a reason. So what if it's not Kilimanjaro, after all it's not a geography book or encyclopaedia challenge, it's a Novel challenge. Personally I'd have knocked off a point because it's not in portrait orientation...as demanded by the cover of a novel. This would have solved the grass issue :) Sadly I could note vote to make up for the trolls:

Maybe "My Side of the Mountain" would have been a better title. ;=9 It's a greta scene.
