Yeah, those trees really follow the rules of perspective and add depth to your shot. Well done

Very good processing - you did well with it. I like the diagonal flow formed by the height of the trees and the way the light hits them.

I like the high contrast and that you caught the moon.

Nice crisp BW show, but it lacks a focus in the image. The line of trees leads the eye to the right, away from the shelter. Cropping off the right, and leaving in more snow at the bottom may help to balance the image better.

OK, but lacks the wow factor for me...horizon seems a little skewed

Pretty photo, but I personally think it could benefit by having the horizon levelled.. looks a bit wonky to me

hmm, well im not entirely sure as to what the main subject is here, but my eye is mostly drawn to the building on the left. the lighting up in the trees is quite pretty
