The ruins of an ancient city - somewhere in Greenland ... yet another landscape ...
Criticisms welcome |

Nice stuff! Very impressionistic. It becomes difficult in some places to tell what was once architecture, and what is part of the icy mountains surrounding the area, as it should be with ll this ice and snow.
It would be cool to see some stuff happening inside of the ice- figures or plants or even suspended chunks of distinct architecture, just to add some interest in the foreground. |

Great!
But I would recommend to make the atmosphere more threatening and define the lines more, add some vegetation and maybe some falling snow in the distance! |

Thanks very much for your suggestions and comments
Here's a new revision, changed the palette a bit, and added some misc details.
Is this any better ? Or is it worse ?

Nice picture, feels really cold!
I think I preferred the first version, the looser style works better with the setting. Good stuff! |

The second one is too green.. it doesn't look like ice anymore. I like the first, though. |
