erusan , I understand what you mean about the flower on the right and looking at it I agree. Thanks for pointing that out.

A nice closeup. Difficult exposure with the frost on those flowers. It would have been nice if you kept the flower to the right in the frame as well, cutting it off suggests that we focus only on the foreground. And there, my eye keeps wandering in search for a place to hold on to, so to say.

Nice concept. I would prefer it a little less centered. Nice DOF. Good luck.

Cool shot. A stop down would have brought out a bit more detail in the snow....cool none the less

Good DOF study and excellent exposure on that tricky snow.

Shoot snow in direct sunlight and you'll likely have to compromise on the exposure. Here, the highlights are blown on the central focus of the shot. The depth of field is nice but the background is distracting. Perhaps shooting from a slightly higher angle would avoid the railings and allow for better control of the highlights.

Nice shot, well observed. Could be my monitor, but is the snow slightly overexposed? Well done.

Other than a blown out of the white ( at least on my screen). The other thing I would humbly suggest is to crop of the bottom 1/3 , this will pull the subject together onto the frame. I think it is a great effort for this shot. in my fav. Good luck.
