The perspective and levels here are superb!
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful shot of a place many/most will never see first-hand. The curved horizon and the sun flare really made this image come to life. Well done!

This is beautiful. I'm alwyas impressed when someone can take barrenness like this and turn it into beautiful photography. It inspires me to work harder at finding beautiful landscapes in Texas :) Great job.

Good perspective. I've always dreamed the ice is whiter. Is it really that grey? Cool sunflare.

The horizon's tilted left. No wait. It's tilted right! :)

In all seriousness, this is a very cool shot. It seems to me, though, that the snow should be brighter than it is. With an advanced challenge, I think it's probably possible to brighten it up without destroying the beautiful color in the sky.
