Interesting effect! Lovely photo, actually. I take it you used an "enhancer" of some sort, but I don't know what this is.

I'm guessing there's a little topaz involved but it looks great - good luck

** Critique Club **

Greetings from the critique club. This is a very striking photo if anything because of the depth of the snow!

Composition
As the challenge heading dictates, the perspective is certainly a key element of this photograph. It is not often one gets so close to the eves of a roof to photograph such a distinct line. It was an excellent choice to photograph it on an angle. It creates a leading line to the sky. I like the placement of the chimney, right at the top, again leading to the sky. An excellent perspective. The score your received and placement is pretty good. One of the main issues with this photo is that it is lacking any striking feature or shape that you see in the top 10.

Technical
There is not much to say on the technicality of the photo. Your exposure was proper as there are no blow highlights in the sky and the exposure is balanced well with the shadows. A flash would help add a little more depth to the photograph. Another possibility would be to underexpose the sky and rely on fill flash from different angles to light the structure and snow. I'm sure that would have been difficult given the conditions.

Again, this is a very nice shot!
