Description
A land forsaken. Forsaken of warmth, forsaken of life, forsaken by man. The days are frigid and the nights are bitterly cold. Hopefully it shall always remain unspoiled and pristine. Safe from harm. Forsaken from the thoughts of man.

The lighting is just stunning. I stared for a while before posting. I love the snow texture, the subtle rippling along the water's surface, and those beautiful beams of moonlight. This should so be a poster. I'd buy it.
Very special stuff. Clear and sharp image, love the colors and mood. Perfect.
The grandeur, atmosphere and lighting in this are all glorious. There is a fairly hard line, where the land meets the water. This may result fromm the sharpening. Could this be softened by a little blurring?
Excellent atmo!
A very beautiful moonlighted silhouette filled with mood.
The lighting, water and mood are just incredible. Hauntingly beautiful and excellent artwork.
wonderful light and mood! really love the colours and the rays
Beautiful...simple and effective!
Terrific landscape and atmosphere. Your commentary puts the finishing touch on it. IMO, the reflected peaks are magnified disproportionally, but perhaps this is due to refraction of the water and effects of water vapor/ice crystals? I've found that by reducing the 'Reflection Spread' setting, I get more realistic results than with the preset. Overall, an excellent piece -- best of luck with the contest! FIVE STARS
Made my beard grow faster than normal looking at this...
