I like the colors and shapes towards the center of the frame. Seems like some of surrounding thing (snow/sky) could be cropped a bit more.

Looks much too sharp on my monitor (there are clear halos around some contours). I think you should reduce the amount of sharpening applied in post-processing. Other than that, I think you may want to selectively lighten the foreground a bit.

Like the mood and pastel colors, would consider cropping to more of a horizontal pano shape eliminating a lot of the boring 4ground and a little of the top of the sky. Agree with Basil on sharpening.

Thanks for the input. I brightened the foreground a bit, reduced the sharpness, and cropped to a pano. How does it look?

very nice colors and framing, jonathon. the pano version works better for me although I feel it´s a tad soft. I agree that the first has too much sharp, but the pano could need a tad more, minor issue though. this pano works nicely, I like it a lot. well done.
