It would make a great Christmas card. Looks like Santa before he gets dressed up for the big might. Nice use of the ice crystals around the edge.Nice composition

Really like this it really fits the Title. It could be in the translation to JPG, it lost detail in the beard. If there is none in the original, you might reshoot it.
Otherwise it looks good on my monitor which is calibrated for printing on Fuji papers, so it should make a really good print. And those who are not photographers, might not notice the beard.

It has a lot of Impact.

It could have better sharpening.

Has a good tonal range, from blacks without detail to bright colors and whites in about zone 10.

Good composition, with strong points of interest in content.

The only thing which might improve it, is a bit of sharpening. With digital, we lose sharpness in processing. A final sharpening might really make this pop. BUT, if you like the soft atmosphere, leave it alone.
