To me this photo says silence more than the others. If you've ever been in the forest after a heavy wet snow you know how quiet it is. Not only are there few animals around, but the snow and cloud cover deaden any noise. The only thing I think would have given us more silence is to have eliminated the road (it reminds me of cars-noise). However the twisting road adds nice composition.

very nice - for me it would have worked more if the very dark trunks on the left were echoed by the fence/guardrail at the right having a little more substance/dark themselves, it feels a bit unbalanced

Beautiful. By far the best "silence" landscape I've seen so far. Expsoure seems just a tad to bright, but composition and contrast are excellent.

I like the placement of the road - pulls me through the frame.

I rated most of the scenic shots 5 to 6. Gave you an 8 because your picture conveys the FEELING well of being alone and silent. The snow scene is part of it. Snow can be so quiet. Well done.

rather over exposed, (there is no detail in the snow), nice image, and nice cropping.
