This picture has drawn me back a couple of times. Very painterly effect. Gives an impression of softness, quietness.

This is hauntingly beautiful.. The snow coming down looks more like a rainshower to me but the muted tones and foggy background makes me want to sit in front of a fireplace with a hot drink! Nice artistic work!

Love the exposure time, great way to catch the feel of the snow falling down, like this shot a whole lot, gave it an 8.
