 Virtually straight from camera. A trace of tone mapping from the RAW exposure, could have been shadow/highlight. Hue/Sat to tone down the blue cast on the snow slightly. Sharpen, resize, save for web.

I love the theme of the colors here - the gold in the foreground grasses and the repeating color of the grasses in the background set off against the blue and grey of the water/ice/snow. The angle of the light really brings out the golden shades. I also like how the snow/ice in the water has the same angular shape as the grass 'plumes' in the foreground. Great work

I like the sharpness against the blurred background and the similar colors in foreground/background with the contrasting blue in the middle.

Nicely done, though I think just a little more DOF (to give more detail to the background) would make it even better.

Beautiful light ... very nice capture. Great application of DOF.

not shallow.. shallow means LOTS of blur that highlights the subject very clearly, usually from very close range
