The vision in itself is one of those once in a lifetime moments and it could have been shot in several variations of shutter speeds to focus to the position of the camera in itself. The artist however is clear with framing aware of symmetry and the rule of thirds. Visually it's very symmetrical from using the rocky landscape to mimic the shape of the mountains. The time of what looks like at night captures the mountain in its awe and glory. Because of how the shot was composed and why, they exaggerate the once in the lifetime moment to bring it to an audience- it truly captures and moment and because of how they worked with nature to compliment one another, it's truly original with professional technique.
It's safe to easily say the impact is truly brilliant and very rarely do I get to use this word (Always a treat when I get to) - Masterful. It's a masterpiece that'll inspire myself and many others for years to come. It's ageless and priceless. This is not only a moment that a photographer longs for but what a true auteur can capture when they have their own artful input where they're one with nature in itself. I applaud this piece as it's my favorite from him

Heh, sorry. Couldn’t resist!
Just a teeny bit of nit-picking here:
The back of the lake (river?), just above halfway, right at the base of the cliffs/mountains – it seems to have no ‘bounding area’ around it, so to speak, and looks slightly unnatural.
For example, to the left hand side, there’s an obvious ‘dip’ that leads from the bank down into the lake, whereas, at the mountain-foot, the lake seems to be straight-cut along it, which looks slightly pasted (similar to a straight horizon). The only solution that comes to mind would be to take the photo from a slightly higher position, that way you include the cut-off line that separates the mountains and the lake.
I adore the transition from the clear, crisp shallows, to the active, rippling, deeper section.
I’m also glad you went with the subtle blue tinge – especially as it’s a fairly dark, unsaturated tone – because, generally speaking, a pure B/W shot will be used in a dynamic scene such as this because it adds effect (which generally just lacks in essence), and I personally believe that adding slight coloration adds emphasis – in this piece, the washed-out blue adds emphasis, in particular, to the coolness of the winds against the mountains, and the frigid temperature from the lake. The temperature can be ‘felt’ quite well on the rocks.
Overall: lovely, clean, detailed, clear, crisp, and even from a first glance, one can easily gauge the present atmosphere! Gorgeous. Kudos to another wonderful photo!
