Interesting point of view, the branches nearest to you give the land or what you pointed out to be the lake, depth. Shows that snow is quite deceiving both in images and reality. The treeline in the background add to that depth, removing what could have been a bland image and giving the illusion of a never-ending, untouched land of frost. This makes one wonder, whats behind the photographer. Is it a view equal to this one? Maybe a lonelier path back to civilization and out of nature's grasp. Such a combination of contrast from the dark trees and the bright white snow is so beautiful. So well done. I will admit, however, that snow-scapes are quite common and tend to look fairly similar. It is quite easily to dismiss a beautiful piece for "just another snow day". This however, was quite well done.
