Greetings from the Critique Club:
Guiding Light was your entry in the Light On White II challenge and you have met the challenge with an unusual image.
Technical:
AS you haven't shown your processing steps in your comments, I will have to try to guess your steps. You have made good use of the sizing allowed. Your choice of aperture has given a good DOF. There appears to be a hint of sharpening and use of curves. With so much white in your image, you have done well to avoid getting blown out areas.
Composition:
Using landscape format, you have placed your main subject to the right, upper corner of the image. This allows the background to encroach upon the main subject. The main distraction is the fence leading from the left bottom corner to the subject. Whilst some will complain about this, I think it helps guide the eye across the image. Without the fence, the shed would have looked too isolated in all the snowy scenery. I am glad you resisted the temptation to crop this image, that would have killed the shot.
Overall:
I did have reservations when I first saw this image, but after studying it, I see an unusual subject for the challenge. It works well, but some of the snow does have a slight grey tinge to it. The orange shutters by the door are dominant, but without them, and the light, the image would have had a bland feel. You don't say what lens you used, I would guess at the 18-55mm kit lens and it gives a nice open feel to the shot. Your score is a fair one, but lower than some of your other entries. I hope this helps and constructive.

| The orange on the doors is very distracting, perhaps you could tone that down with selective color. |

| it's kind of refreshing to see a landscape after dozens of flowers and portraits on white background :) |

| To me it looks like the fence splits the image into two and I'm torn between which part to look at - the shed or the beach and the mountain. Thus I lose a central focus for the image. |
