I personally really like "sunshine after a snowstorm" photos, the light is just fantastic, and things really jump out. Not the strongest composition here though, as the foreground clutter removes a lot from any strong focal point.. if we could have seen more down that road/gully/clear-cut there..

Glad you didn't fall into the trap of over sharpening this wonderful image. 10.

very pretty winter scene - almost wish you had stepped to the right more though so I can see a little of what lies beyoind the curve.
