Well done. I like the placement in the composition, the (mostly) whiteness and texture of the snow. No nits worth mentioning.

Still "stuck" with snow images, huh?

You all have really been hit hard by the snow this season.
Some wonderful shots, though!
I really like the simplicity here, and the snow detail. The shadows add depth.
Not as striking as your incredible seascapes, though!
Hoping for you that these will be possible again soon..

Really like the shadows in this one Eva. Excelent processing for the snow "whites".

Another very pleasing comp, and the shadows add another nice element to this. Minimal and very engaging, Eva!

I like the balance in the comp and the textures in the snow Eva. Perfect whites for my tastes as well. Beautiful image.

The shadow elements make this image special. After this weeks warm weather we can actually see grass in some isolated areas. Spring is on its way!!!!!

I love this image, Eva. I was wandering how more beautiful it could be cropping the dry stem in the right upper area and its shade. What do you think about?
Take care.
