Thanks! It probably can be cropped from left but I prefer to include at least some of village for context, otherwise it's hard to understand what's under clouds. And this snow with tracks in foreground does not hint of distant wilderness, if it were pure snow then i'd probably tried to eliminate all non-natural elements.

I like this shot, but maybe it would been better if the path leading to bridge and/or going from bridge is visible, right now the bridge looks like isolated artifact.
-
These shots look more like spring shots with lack of snow on southward slopes and "grainy" snow. Alas, that's the times we live on.

Gritty and BW seems to work well for industry shots, especially old industry.

Great neighborhood to have and what a view. But this shot seems to be bit unbalanced due to all the interesting elements being on top half of image and lower half mostly empty with sea. Maybe cropping half of sea off would work better?

Thanks for the input. I agree and will give it a try. Cropping is a very strategic tool. Many, many times I have gone back months later... and cropped an image for better results!

Indeed snow is a bit thin...what altitude ?

Gritty B&W works

Managed a week skiing in the French Savoie. Snow pretty limited below 1800m but above it's still hanging around. Damn cold as well...

In the second photo here, we were walking at just over 1500m in the snow. The Höchkönig mountain range that you can see in the first goes up to 2900m
