Nice shot, I like the slow shutter speed and how it creates a very nice texture with the lake. Its probably my bad screen, but the whites seem just a smidgen to much or at least overpowering in the ice in the foreground. Also there seems to be a halo on the horizon, although since it stops midway through the horizon it might not be a halo?

Wonderful scene with just the right amount of blur for me. One trick to get more blur is to shoot several exposures and combine than as multiple exposures. (I'm also inclined to forget accessories.)
Very scary to think about slipping there. I always mean to carry a climber's rope, but never seem to manage.

Hi Andrew - I like this a lot with nice blur, comp and colors. The whites look ok to me with some good detail in the ice too. The reason you couldn't find the snowies, was you needed your daughter as a good luck charm.

Impressive Andrew, why don't you apply an ND filter in PP?
Something like this Andrew always best to have another person near by, falling in that sea I would give you minutes, glad you made it back safely so we can enjoy your experience, and the image.

Thanks folks for the comments, much appreciated.
Dvir - halo you are seeing is actually a clearing starting to form in the clouds on the horizon.
Diane - I'll have to remember to try the multiple trick next time I forget my filters
Rachel - you could be right as my daughter was with me for my post in Avian
Steve - I'll experiment with your ND suggestion to see what I can come up with
Cheers

I love the mood you've captured with this image Andrew, the amount of blur through the water increases the atmosphere very nicely.
I find it a stronger composition with the foreground cropped up to where the pool of water in the ice starts to flow through the cracks in the ice, if that description makes sense. Other than that, not much else I'd change.
