This was the original and looking at the score i'd better submitted this one.
The white is not overprocessing but genuine snow on a sunny day . Used Topaz detail "midnight" to get the dark haunted feel. Too bad only a few people could "feel" with me..

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives:What a strange an eerie scene. Although the trees have a highly processed look, the subtle coloration of the house serves to tone down the whole image. The sense of moonlight is very well communicated.
Negative stuff: I still wonder whether the trees are a little overdone for an optimal look.
Overall: A very effective image and one that makes a strong contribution to the variety in this month's Free Study.
