This is a nice look at some snow packed trees. I might burn down the snow in the lower right quadrant. It seems to bright and stands out compared to the snowy branches toward the top of the frame.

Hey Preston!
Nice to see a post from you. That’s quite the view you have off your back porch! The timing and lighting conditions were beautiful at the time of this capture.
Love the snow-laden trees and also the tonality of the passing storm clouds in the bg; colors are perfect.
I agree with Harley about the LRC snow - and will take it a bit further. For me, the primary interest is with the upper 2/3 of the image. I might be inclined to crop up from the bottom to eliminate most of the see-thru green bows and brighter snow in the bottom section. Not sure if that would be a better alternative, just my thoughts.

Awesome shot Preston, I love the contrast between the dark trunks and the beautiful white branches and the light is perfect. If possible I would try not to include the bush in the lower right but if not possible I would burn it a bit. It distracts from the gorgeous scene in the background IMHO.
Thanks for your comments and suggestions, everyone. I cropped this from the top a bit, and also from the bottom. I used a Lights mask to adjust the very bright areas of the snow.
Do you have any thoughts on this re-work? Thanks,

This looks good. The lower section of the tree really provides strength to the image to my eye. But those branches lower right do interfere. I think the repost is a better look.
