Hi, Igor!
This is a very peaceful and serene image, to me. That little left blip of snow does distract me a bit, though. Nice EP!

I like that Igor.

Can I suggest a pano crop that moves the bottom edge up to the snow path/patch?

I tried various bottom crops on this one and settled here. Cropping up to snow splits the image 50/50. Crop a bit lower and you get the water region on the right pulling you there. I wanted the outline on that bank included. The standing water is an important part of the image. I felt it was more important than the mountain itself.

To me this image just feels so relaxing that I can’t imagine a better place I’d like to be right now. Your composition feels really balanced and the soft light really suits this. The snow patterns on the mountain are wonderful as is the pattern in the foreground with the bits of land and water/snow. Of, and the two small pines in the bottom left really add a nice dynamic element to the otherwise quiet scene. I like this very much!
