Re: As winter settles in.....
Andrew,
I feel the first three images are over exposed, lacking details; last one looks good; let us wait for expert opinions

Re: As winter settles in.....
What's all that white stuff? It was 77* F (~25* C) in San Diego today and right now at nine PM, it has dropped way down to 62* F (~16.6 * C) and it's the middle of winter here...

Re: As winter settles in.....
Perhaps...a bit overexposed...but I like #1 and, most especially #2.
@Richard - good manners prevents me from using language that would best express my thoughts of your comments
Presently there is about 3 inches of that miserable wet white stuff. Fortunately it's now turning to rain so it will soon become a very pleasant 1 1/2 inches of dirty brown slush. Do you KNOW what that does to a blonde, furry doodle? Three towels man, three towels to dry her off and clean her up! (Sorry Andrew for the threadjack)

Re: As winter settles in.....
Although we live with it six months of the year, I'm no snow photography expert. I will say that the trick to effective images that I've seen (not captured) is retaining enough detail to show ground contour and/or texture in the snow. In some cases like these with very dark rocks, HDR processing may be necessary to show detail in both highlights and shadows.
It's all a matter of perspective. One thing we look forward to in winter is clean dog feet

Re: As winter settles in.....
My feeling with snow is that there should be detail in it and it should not be a blown white area. The last photo works well as such because it [ the ice?] is not burnt out.
My section of #3 almost works after treatment in editing but still has the burnt out 'hill'.
It may look darker on your monitor becuase I am not sure of how mine is set.
This looks good on my monitor but maybee a bit dark to you but there is detail in the snow.

Re: As winter settles in.....
Andrew...I like #1 and #4 even if #1 has some teeny-weenie bluish tint in it. # 2 -- the idea is really good but if you are looking for perfection there, lessen the yellowish tinge that maybe is the reflection of some of the circles in the snow photo itself. # 3, has the pinkish haze...#4 is excellent to my eyes.
