Dead Calm

Great stuff. The second really looks good.
Image mapping can be used to simulate reflections. Do a render looking back toward the camera you want to do the final image with. Then map this image onto the 'reflective' areas you want. It's a cheat that looks pretty good quite often.

That's a good idea, didn't think of it. Worth a try. I tried to add a water shader but I couldn't get the berg to look like 'glass/ice'. Something to experiment on, I guess.

Maybe a little more white or luminary on the glaciers , a second sun(without shadow in the opposite direction) and such?
I think we can not exclude this kind of thing (second sun rays) from our objects in TG2 ?

Maybe faking in post would be more easy.

Not wanting to hijack Schmeerlap's Eiskalt Boat http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=7889.0 , here's another version of the U99. This time embedded in a freezing sea of ice floats, called to investigate a plane crash (so I was told). Completely procedural, except for a simple mask for the rising ice around the U99.
Also added (procedural) some snow on top of the plane and boat. And I tried to get a vague hint of aurora in the sky, which I'm not yet happy with. Perhaps I should use a mask for that as well, to get the wavy lines. But this is probably the last of the U99 for me.

This is really good. I think I can see which photo triggered inspiration for this (the larger photo uploaded by Costaud). Good use of voronoi cracks and I like the reflection on ice field from the moon. I like it better without low poly aeroplane. Maybe needs a bit of clean up where ice meets sub (edge of mask) off port beam, and two points abaft port beam (see insets). Very impressive work overall, though.

The plane seems a little too intact. The rest is great.
