I took this photo last February. I had the idea bouncing around in my head for quite a while and had to wait for an actual sunset with something other than a clear blue sky to kiss the snow and impart it's glow. Since I don't have many large bodies of water near me, my intention was to make it look similar (but not the same) to a sunset over the water.

My specific question is, does it look over processed? Of course I'm well come to any and all critiques. :-)

I don't think it looks over processed at all myself!

Its a cool shot but i think with a little more overall brightness you could bring the shapes of the snow out a little more, and highlight the groups of trees jutting out from under it.

Also the horizon is a little wonky!

Apart from that, a good idea well executed
