Wonderful color and I like the way the branches extend from the center.

Great color against the monochrome bg Chet.
No nits on my part and I like the mood of the image even if it is darker than you intended.

Chet,
Great mix of color with the dusting of snow. I can't say this is too dark really - at least with nothing to compare it too or a reference, but I think the overall brightness looks good to me.
This is certainly an image/scene where bigger is better. The smaller version, stuff is kinda lost, or not noticed, but the larger view is much better to be able to enjoy all the details throughout. I'd hate to go so far as to say this is too busy, but I am wondering if simplifying this with a square crop might make a stronger statement. I see both/either a square crop of the left half or a square crop of the right half. I think both areas have some nice combination of elements. The left half I would enjoy without the patches of sky, but then if you just had the right half, then the patches of sky are more a part of the overall scene - if that makes sense. Anyway, just thinking out loud. Still, a very nice seasonal transition image.
