Pleasing composition and after some study the tone grew on me.

Great composition but I think it would benefit by doing it with warm/hot colours, looks more like a snow scene here. 6

The front area is too dark. I suspect this photo would be better if you took it a different time of day.

Beautiful tones. The top and bottom of the image is a little dark. I love the footsteps leading away.
