Wow, stunning! I love landscape shots with a wildlife element, and this and your Barn Owl with sun are two of my very favourite shots of this (or any) kind.

Works at every level for me.
Long tele landscapes are a real art form when done right.

A very fine image Nigel, the contrast between the cold snowy foreground and the sun works very well.
