Nice, but what makes it special? Not the sun--there are plenty of similar shots. Perhaps you have a different take, but the snow and the rocks with the sun's reflection seem unique. I wonder if you somehow made that the center of attention you would have a more unique to you photo.
Several aspects make it compelling to me. The rule of thirds composition makes it appealing to the eye. The breaking out of the sun in contrast to the snow tells a story. The lens flare amplifies that story. Focus and depth of field deliver a sharp inage pleasing to the eye. Color rendition is pleasing too.
