Nice imaging here. The snow crystals on the ice are the 'icing' here. Made the most of a boring weather day there. I don't need to see two versions of the identical image. I prefer the landscape orientation.
Very cool! Way to go in working a cloudless sky like you did. As Jeffrey mentioned, those ice crystals really make the shot! I have shot that location so many times, but I have never seen ice crystals like that. #1 is the one that works best for me.
