Just discovering this thread.
Beautiful image, like painting. A fair result for long and very technical shooting process.
Pastel colors and perfect compo makes it successful.
As a matter of fact, it seems that some ''enigmatic rules'' of composition/aesthetics applied here, certainly by chance, I mean naturally, without concentration, hence this pleasant compo.
So actually not that much different from ordinary photography after all.
Well, except the long time you spent, and probably in freezing conditions .
