Greetings from the Critique Club!
Overall, a nice image with an immediate impact, particularly for those of us who live in a part of the world where an picture like this brings back great memories of childhood. The colours are satisfying for a photograph that's mostly snow. Composition is done nicely, the three-quarter view of the house a good choice.
The snow gives the photo a noisy quality that detracts for me, although it is indeed immediately recognizable as snow. It also has the effect of giving the entire composition a somewhat soft feel, which does not benefit the photograph. The large dark tree at left draws the eye persistently; perhaps a tighter crop around the house would have avoided this. Similarly, the house almost "floats" above a very soft undefined area of snow in the foreground, which is just slightly too heavy for my taste. Overall tone and exposure leaves the image slightly flat. Perhaps some work in post could have popped the house and made the elements around it recede somewhat.
Overall, though, a good photo, and one that really does bring back wintry memories of my childhood. Thanks. :)
Hope this helps,
Louis
