We had our first real dusting of snow yesterday, and it turned the water, landscapes and even wildlife into interesting subjects. Here, a gently twisting country road is enhanced by a nice white covering.

Very nice. I wonder whether it needs a touch more contrast.

Just beautiful, Bill. Prefer the larger as there is just so much detail here. The patches of light on the snow help convey a sense of depth in the scene.

OK, here is a rework from scratch. I can't wait to shoot in RAW and see what happens. Thanks again for the input everyone.
