Great textures &DoF. What's the silver object on the foregound rock? It's not clear whether it's supposed to be a focal point or incidental feature. If the former, it might be better in a different hue?

To tell you the truth, until you mentioned it I hadn't noticed the shiny silver thing. Now it's really distracting. I believe it is either some ice, or a little water and a coincidental lack of foliage blocking light from that spot.

 

It is not intended to be a focal point. Perhaps I can go back and burn a little there in photoshop to dial it down a little. However, I generally don't like doing that sort of thing, and am not that good at it...
