This is going to be easy to critique as I don't see anything I would do differently. It's a gorgeous image! Excellent use of the foreground element to pull the eye into the image.

I guess the only question I would have would be why the vertical landscape? Maybe the lens wasn't wide enough to get both the foreground element and the mountain tops in frame? Of course the composition is a personal thing, I just find myself wanting to see more of of the landscape.

Well done, congrats.


vertical landscape for the exact reason you mentioned :P
and thanks!

The icy rock in the foreground looks like a little turtle with icicles. Very pretty detail, especially the rosy mountains in the background.
