Sheesh. This is a great interpretation. In a sense, it's a perfect abstract, in the sense of abstracting the essence of something.

The lens flare is a bit of a distraction, and could be cropped or cloned out, but I guess you knew that before posting it.
I am impressed with the elements of the angular house, the bright spot sun, the little lone cloud, and esp the way the shadow mirrors the house.
I wish a lot of houses would disappear from here in S W Florida, but they are all new ones. : P
It's way too cold where you are living.

Love that single cloud hanging in the sky, really makes the sky seem extra large.

Comment by JulieG:
I like how the sled is so small in the frame, and I like the pop of red color against the bluey snow shadows. Maybe if the sled were a little bit lower, I'd like it even more. Also I think that maybe you could have played a bit more with the idea of the tracks leading to the sled. Right now those lines lead out of the picture. It would have been nice IMO if they had come from the opposite corner and meandered slowly to the sled.

Love the sun trying to get through the tree branches and the green of the moss and ferns.

Awwwwww the house looks great, can't it be saved?? I've got socks older than that place......perhaps appearances are deceptive. Anyway it's a cracking shot, love the little white cloud.

Comment by yeti:
wonderfully stark. Yeah, ok, the lens flare could go, but other then that I like it, it conveys the empty feeling of the house

I love the colours in this; beautiful. The lighting and perspective reall ycomplement each other, drawing the eye down the diagonal..
