This is a very nice shot! I really love the colors in the sky and the water. The composition is also perfect. I worry, though, that there may be a bot too much exposure on the ice to the right, which subsequently makes the shadows on the left dark enough that a lot of the detail is lost. This is unfortunate because otherwise this is a very good picture. Great post!
"Together with all forms, moods, shows of grief,
That can denote me truly: these, indeed, seem,
For they are actions that a man might play:
But I have that within which passeth show;
These but the trappings and the suits of woe."
~Hamlet
Essentially I agree with the other comments above.
It could have been an awesome upload but instead it's a good upload. Sometimes it's best not to take a shot at all due to the suns angle !! please don't be discouraged as you have real potential. :o)
