Nice idea. Focus more toward foreground would help. The tight packing of the row of headstones on the left might have made for better composition.

Quite a nice shot - well seen and captured. Good job with the tonality of this particularly when snow can be so difficult. I do love the way the wind sculpts snow - it's quite fascinating!

Beautiful snowdrifts and fence. The shot is interesting, yet feels as thought the focus is set too far back into the left corner. Still nice. 6

I think it's a neat idea to take the approack of "sculpted by the wind" instead of the wind itself, but I do think that without the title the photo wouldn't say "wind" to me. I would have liked to see the tombstone on the left sharp and in focus as well. As far as creativity, I think the approach is creative but I would have liked to see creativity in angle, composition, etc.

That's a whole lotta snow for an October scene! I like it in greytone.
