Ok, Pittsburgh isn't necessarily a frozen tundra, per se, but it fit the challenge a little better... :) This is actually a house being built near us. It's rumored to be in the $20 million range.

So hard to get exposures right on this sort of shot but it has been done here. Still retaining detail in the shadows of the balconies. That patch on the left bothers me though. Hold a piece of card along the left to crop that out and it seems to tighten everything up without losing the essence of the picture.
This is a beautiful and enigmatic place! I'm looking forward to see where is it...
the light here is pretty good (the time of the day), maybe with a little more contrast would be better for me. Congratulations for your good work...
Looks like a house for a movie star or head of state. Lovely building and I think the snow/cold cement color really ties this together. Good winter shot.
