large version an absolute must, especially to appreciate the detail on the sundogs. If you are tempted to crop sky from the top - DON'T!! That large sky is a key element of this image - beautiful!

Stunning image. Thanks for the education. I don't recall ever seeing a sun dog before. This is truly unique.

Looks like light missiles being launched from behind the clouds. The large view is a must see. Nice.

Roel,
Wow, what a fabulous opportunity to witness such an event. Wonderful phenomena, beautifully captured.
I wouldn't suggest a crop either. Another fine detail here that I enjoyed while discovering the other elements in the frame, is the line of mist rising off the water along the left horizon. The foreground snow/ice is a great anchor too.
No nits or suggestions.
Lon

To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy. -Henri Cartier-Bresson

Roel,
Very cool image. I don't know if I ever saw this light phenomena. Processing looks very natural. Not much to suggest but you could experiment with raising the shadows slightly.

Those are spectacular sun dogs and sun pillar, Roel, plus you've got a fine scene to show them off with. I agree with Alberto that keeping all of the sky adds a lot to this image.
