This is one of the pictures I take a few years ago in flagstaff, while winter storms falling down
I hope you like it

Basically a very nice shot with some lovely winter mood going on.
Compositionally I'm not convinced by the triangular lake(?) on the right side. With all the soft shapes and tones in this image it's too much of an visual intrusion. You might compensate for that by brightening that area up and almost bring it to the whiteness level of the surrounding snow. You will see that the shot becomes much more simple.
The other thing is the green color spill on the snow of the foreground trees. Almost looks like you painted on or having the pushes the saturation way over the top there so that the faint bouncing greens became an active color which looks unnatural.
Two little things to think about.

Oh, this makes me long for colder weather (Florida cold, that is). A beautiful scene, and the misty/foggy BG adds so much IMO.

Postcard perfect for sure, Enrique. The subtle shades and hues here are appealing.

Love the greens contrasting the whites in the shot.

Enrique,
This definitely has a winter post card look to it. I really like the foggy appearance of the bg and trees. Andreas' comments echo what I was thinking both in terms of the green in the two forward trees and the "patch" on the right. I'm guessing it's pavement? I can't tell for sure - but regardless, it does create a bit of an imbalance for me. Did you happen to shoot from the other side of the road too? Lots of potential under these beautiful winter conditions.
