I love black and white, A ok color picture can sometimes look so much better in BW and I think thats what happened here. I do like the snow though and its a great idea.
One of the best concepts, great B&W tones although the ground in the bottom right hand corner looks a bit out of place as it has much higher contrast than anywhere else
Great shot. To me it somehow feels 'old school' - and I can't put my finger on why. It's simple and a beautiful interpretation of the challenge and really works in monochrome. Perfect crop too imho. Well done.
Contrast is very high here, with the white snow being totally blown out. I'm not sure how I'd fix it though. Such a high contrast scene will be very tricky to get it right. I think the detail in the patchy grass is distracting. Yeah, I think you should rake up all the snow from miles around and spread it out evenly for this shot. :) You can leave some grass in the foreground if you get tired.
