Composition - The biggest problem I have with this photo is that it lacks any real center of interest for me. The snow is nice (I live in Michigan and see enough of it every year) especially with the nice big flakes falling. The dark windows make for a great backdrop and contrast the falling snow nicely. It just sort of needs...well, a subject. The image does run a little uphill from left to right as well.
Background - This is the background. I keep envisioning a tall, thin wholesome looking girl with curly hair poking out from under her hat in a long dark wool coat catching snowflakes on her tongue.
Camera work - Nice job here. Well framed and settings adjusted pretty well to keep from being underexposed. The whiteness of snow has been known to give cameras fits from time to time. You did a great job capturing the motion of the snow.
Processing - Doesn't look like much was done here. That means not much was done, or that you did whatever you did well enough so that at least I can't tell
Overall - Technically, I think you did a nice job. But artistically, it really needs something to focus on more than the snow. The challenge of motion was met, but not much else. I don't think its a bad picture, but I think it really needs something (like a subject). - Inspzil
