I tried to record the distinctive "smell of snow", brought to the wood by brisk chilly wind.

Clear sky at slightly higher altitude (cca 600 m) evidently overburnt few previous, recent shots so I here compensated the exposition by "-2/3".

Very nice shot; I can actually imagine the loamy leaf smell more readily than coming snow.

The colours are amazing. The trees look so stark. Very nice. However, I am not sure if you were trying to focus on just one or the whole lot. They are a bit blurry.

This is a beautiful shot. The colour is just perfect. Almost has a black and white feel to it, but not. Not sure the smell aspect comes out as much as visuals though, but that's the only criticism I have.

I love the golden diagonal light - especially how it contrasts with the cold gray trees. I think you rcould crop out the top bit of sky, and add more of the ground in the foreground. It would even up the two aspects of this photo that stand out.

Love the title. Yes, I agree with you, you can smell snow when it's in the air.
I think the composition of this photo is well captured. Definitely gives the feeling that winter's well on it's way. The little leaf, or seedling, at bottom left corner is rather pleasing.

Nice picture but it looks to me that it was manipulated a bit too much.

The ground color vs. the stark grey and bare trees adds considerable interest to this image.

Wonderful stand of trees. Really pretty with the shadows and sunlight. Your shot is blurry. Was this hand held? Could also be the sizing or compression. Still I do like this concept.
