How I miss the snow...this is just beautiful. Very serene - I can feel the crisp, cold air on my skin! I shouldn't speak to soon about snow since I am probably moving back to the east very soon.

Your composition is great with this image. I like that you managed to incorporate more of the tree's reflections than, say, what the guidelines would dictate. Not quite conventional, but, it really works with this photo.

Most every aspect, colour saturation, lighting and so forth is quite good.

It is almost as with a scene like this, I can't get enough detail to satisfy my mind's eye. Just that ever so little bit more clarity is what is being demanded. No offense intended, by no means ... I offer only 'constructive' comments.

Again, thank you for sharing. A very wonderful image.
