Lightroom RAW conversion. Noise reduction, resize and sharpen.

Is this South Africa? It's a neat photo but everything looks frozen, what do I know, I'm just a dumb american. But I know I like the strong vertical elements here, the colors, the composition. Great work.

I wish the horizon were straight... I really like the image. I can feel the cold and the shades of blue are pleasing.
