I love the composition. THe sharpening kind of looks like an effect, and it works everywhere but the sky; you really captured an excellent mood here. nice work.

very nice, i like how the pines seem to have their own feeling, (personification)some are slanted and gives them their own little feeling, i like that.... i see like a pink stain on the whites between the trees, dont know it its my monitor, but anyway this is fantastic,, o and one more thing, i dont know if u intended to do the thin white line it the bottom? if u did good job, cause i like it...

nice enough image, but doesn't really come across to me as a photograph, but instead more of a piece of art. looks like it might make a nice book jacket, though.

Wonderful colors. Nice job with exposure to keep the details in the shadows and still have color in the sky. Very nice.

The color in the sky is excellent, but the vertical stripes of noise are distracting. Also, the dark snow is a bit incongruous with such a light sky.

5 - Like this, but the quality seems to be lacking - could be resizing / pp issues.

Strange banding in the sky. Did you use a gradient? Did you set it to dither? If not, is this banding normal for your cam?

It looks like a lot of post processing, but I like the blue's.

Looks unnatural; as if it were overprocessed.

This is a lovely scene but there is something weird going on. The ice looks like it was pasted on (I am assuming you processed the ice separately from the trees and it's really noticeable around the edges). There is a lot of noise or pixelation in the sky. I like the different colours in the sky.
