This image has a very strong emotional impact on me. Tolstoy once said that when an emotion is pulled out of us then art has been achieved. This is emotional because I lived and worked in an area that looked like this...Moose Factory, Ontario, Canada. I love the pull on the eye that you have caught. You have the hot pop off center but I love symmetry in photographs and think that had you placed this dead center, with equal visual weight on sky to foreground it also would have rendered a strong image....this is of course all about artistic license and I bow to your prerogative. The colour palette, the exposure is gorgeous. This is top notch...LOVE IT. Where was it taken I wonder.

Thanks a lot for your kind and detailed comment This image was taken in the North West of Russia, around 400 km from the Barents Sea.
I am drawn to the warm tones of this image. Yes, it is cold with all that snow, it is also well exposed showing detail in white, yet there seems to be a warm lovely feel to this well taken and well composed photograph which draws us in deeply into the image. The shoreline of the lake provides dynamism in a wavy line which runs diagonally across the image. Did you use a tripod? Sharp, clear, cold and warm
