the leaf in the upper left corner makes this image for me.

I totally agree with Beth Huebner, but at the same time I think the rest of the image supports that quite well; viz. the flow from the upper left to the lower right.
I was about to say that had there only been a leaf like that down on the right side, toward the bottom, it would have given even greater existential impact, and then I decided, luckily for me, to take another look at the image.
Indeed, that leaf exists. To be honest, I don't know whether or not it existed before I looked at it the second time; such is the way of Magic. But I do know that it does exist now; initially invisible to me, but now essential to the meaning of the image; now that I've looked and seen it there.

Good for you John to notice that. I totally missed it and almost did a second time. It is indeed magic!!!. I also agree about the flow of the branches down through the image and ought to have commented on it but I got so excited about the leaf that I neglected to do so. Sorry Nuno.

The leaves make it for me, too............ That small hint of color sets off the snow magnificently.
