The atmosphere is very nice here and the B&W treatment works very well, Roberto. My only suggestions would be a bit more contrast and bring up the whites of the two trees and FG snow.

Roberto, I like the mood you captured and being able to see just a hint of the background. I think if you could bring up the white on the two trees (as Ed mentioned) this would really look nice.

Nice image with a lot of potential. I agree with Ed and Nick about the contrast; the whites should be more intense. If possible you may consider to give the trees a bit more room.

The frosty tree branches are very interesting and the hint of mountain in the background is a fine addition. I do agree with the others that dodging the frosty branches would be a nice improvement. Good job seeing this as a graphic design.

Very cool subject. Kinda wish there was more space left and right. Nicely seen.

This is one of those types of shot you need to just sit here and look at and appreciate. Amazing feel/mood!!!!!! The dark mysterious background makes this soar! :toast: :toast: :toast:

Looks good to me as it is Roberto, I especially like the subtle BG impressions.
I've been trying to work more with the Nik Silver Efex lately, it sure can transform an image.
Well done!
