This was one of my top pics. I like the shot quite a lot. Would not have picked it as yours. Three browns in 8 challenges for me (and another one in the works). You're falling behind.
Not sure this really matches the theme, though the title did make me grin. The blurry thing in the foreground (trash can, maybe?) is pretty distracting, and the bright spot in the snow (lens flare?) could also go. I think the focus is a little off, and, personally, I prefer an image like this to be higher contrast.
On the other hand, I like the scene and the line of the fence. I like that you can see the bridge in the background. Maybe one step to the right to get the bridge framed by the tree branches a bit better.
