I didn't comment earlier--but this is one of my favorites of the challenge. I'm sad that it didn't place higher! But excellent work. It's original, creative, and nicely executed.
I like the top line, the black metal with white snow, the blurred background. The second line is not really needed. If you would have gotten closer to the top one, reduce the elements in the picture even more it would be stronger in my opinion.
Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. Exposure composition focus lighting all good, I really like the DOF and the capture of the snow falling. At first I accidentally typed "snot falling" :-)
Nice color, clarity and lighting. Maybe a faster or slower shutter to keep dropping flakes from being on the edge of clarity (go totally still or totally moving). Good shot and unique.
Reminds me of a shot in the shape challenge, mound of snow or something like that. Same guy? I don't know. But this one has some depth of field and a repeating pattern which adds interest.
