A trip to the frozen lake :) (CLOSED) (CLOSED)

This is my first attempt at this style of image.
I love winter very much and unfortunately it seems that the sparkling white winter is completely disappearing in our area So I created one for myself I hope you like it and you also like this side of winter.

And here is the grayscale image

Wow! I like it!

What software did you use to create this scene and render it, if I may ask?

Adding thumbnail for gallery

Looks like a relaxing place to get away. Nice job!   
Thanks for participating in the contest.
