I agree with the others--real pretty! You might consider cloning out the stick in the lrhc--but that's it and even that's debatable. I love winter shots like this!

I agree also! Only thing I would consider is cloning or cropping the sticks at lower right corner. Nice job.

Peaceful is right! I really like that you chose a high enough shutter speed to stop the motion of the falling flakes.

Beautiful winter image, Sandy. I couldn't agree more with your comment about the deep silence of softly falling snow. It's one of my favorite things. You've conveyed the mood nicely here.

Amen to the notion of that heavenly silence, and you caught it perfectly. Looks like a Christmas card to me.

Beautiful scene Sandy, would make a great postcard/Christmas card, well done! I saw you did an exposure compensation, but I might be inclined to brighten it up a little more.
