Very enchanting.
Real and surreal.
Delicate and strong.

Can you locate the image more precisely?  I live alongside the Kootenay River.

Wherever, it's lovely.  Very peaceful.

Not a strong image graphically  - but has nice atmosphere/clouds. Real problem is the "bright white spot" in lower left corner of frame? It small enough not to be important to the whole -  but most importantly the eye is drawn immediately to it as the rest of the frame is "essentially" a fairly even field of wan dark "gray" tonality. Not sure if directing the viewer "out of the frame" is useful generally in an image like this.

I like the brooding, dark atmosphere, though.

Agreed. Perhaps I'll crop out the band of snow. It's there to include the bottom bright spot reflection.

Peter, I'm in Nelson. You?

Thanks to all for your comments.
