    I see what drew your attention, but think it needs better light, contrast and composition. Something to really make that icy barrier pop out of the background. Do you have other angles or anything? Its so tough when mother nature fails to cooperate. She's feisty that way.

    I quite like this, cool scene, good sharpness.
    I could see how a contrast boost might help but this is good light for this subject imo.

    The straight on angle is not bad but as wicked suggests some play on this angle might have made the shot more dynamic.
    Hope that helps - Marko

    Just adding to those comments above ... I'd have cloned out those dark spots as well.

    Very cool scene though MM.

    I agree with the other comments, with the angle, perhaps it would have looked more effective if you had taken it from a slightly lower angle, and further to the left (closer the rail) so that the composition is looking down the rail a bit, rather than almost straight on. I wonder if you took a photo like that while taking this one?

    Good work with the sharpness though, and I agree with the contrast too.
