Today I went out to a location that I had been scouting with this exact picture in mind. I saw this scene on the way to the windmills one night, and never got back with snow on the trees. I really thought that this picture could have looked better. That seems to be a theme lately. I do have a great idea for this shot, but I really need to get better at seeing that on the scene. Of course I was on a well traveled road that was snow covered here. I really had very little time to get this shot. The more I look at this though the more I like it.
Your image reminds me of some paintings by an Australian Artist, Peter Booth, check it out

I am really enjoying your snow photography.
I really wsh we had a little more snow this winter to practice on.
I like this shot, you have a very nice eye. So far as you not liking it the only problem I see is your horizon line is off, fix that and maybe up contrast a smidge and you have a fantastic shot. The light is excellent on and your composition is spot on.
