    This is a great location. Watch your horizon, this one leans a little to the right, and the lean is exaggerated by the taller mountains being on the left side of the frame. This photo could most benefit from better light. Try photographing scenes like this at the "edge of light", ie. sunset and sunrise. Early morning and late evening are the best times to shoot anything. The quality of light is excellent.

    Impressive location. Due that white is the predominant color this scene is better suited to be photographed in morning or evening hours like EOS said. The result of taking the pic during harsh light is a washed out effect which the pic has. It is nevertheless a great pic! Thanks for sharing!

    Great place. I really like the mountains and the haze. They really make the shot. The water is a tad disappointing though - if it were calm and more reflective and had less stuff in it, it might rival the rest of the shot. Maybe a kayaker in the water too

    There is a little tilt. Look at the water line.
    In this case, I disagree about the light being bad and actually think this was taken fairly early in the morning. I don't think it is blown out either and that the whites are very well rendered.
    I thought about suggesting a crop of half the water and a bit of sky to make it more pano but changed my mind as you'd lose so much of the reflection.
    I think it is a very good scenic.
    Which glacier is it?
    Keep Shooting!
