Description
After giving everyone a taste of Spring in my previous render, it's back to a cold and snowy render of Winter, today. My greatest challenge on this one was achieving the icy layer to the surface of the water. I wanted it to begin at the snow line of the terrain and continue somewhat, out over the water toward the viewer.

Very good Bryce, I like the view and the water effect too! Perfect lighting ^__^
Feeling cold already Keith, a great image with superb snow effect terrain. Love the way the mountains stretch into the distance. Tony :-)
Perfect pic, great athmosphere and lighting.
Fantastic landscape. I'm cold while looking at this image. Excellent work!
A great snowy landscape Keith!! Really like the terrain and the icy water is excellent!!
It looks cold. Nicely done!!
Really good feeling. Have one suggestion, snow needs 'breaking up' where it meets the water. (Water is not frozen so would melt the snow where it meets... bits of rock grinning through.) Regards Bruce1i
Very good work on this! Looks great!
I'm sitting here already cold, and then you do this to me!!! Wow, this is stunning, your work just blows me away!!
brrrrr it looks cold there ! excellent work my friend !
Thanks, Lu...it's cold here, too.
Yeah! Look fantastic! It´s a great cold place. Nice! :)
Chilling work Keith! The floating just above the water surface POV is most excellent. Awesome material work too! Muis
You have done a great job on the POV, the waves really look great.
This is a fantastic render...the colors and subtle contrasts are fantastic, as are the various textures. The varied ripples on the water are particularly good, in my opinion; the way they increase somewhat as they grow closer to the viewer implies advancing ice wonderfully. Fantastic work.
Hey! I like this one... real frosty!!! Nice composition.
Fantastic vista!!! Looks cold and wonderful!!!
Great mountain and terrain.

Very nice render, the winter light and water makes it seem very cold :) Landscape reminds me somewhat of how it looks here at the moment.
