The frame is a nice added touch - like what you would see on a holiday post card.
The snow..interesting, would not have even known you added it.
The frost on the branches are very crisp..like that of an icy chill and wintry downfall.
Thanks for sharing.

I think it turned out lovely, great use of special effects. This would make a nice Christmas card, perhaps with some text. Like the contrast of the white, black, and blue

This is a beautiful landscape photography.Simple in its composition. The clarity of the image is good. The colours are natural. A welcome shot to impending winter. Well done.

Very nicely done. The vignetting makes this look like you shot through frosted glass, goes very well with the ice on the branches. Wilf

Comment from RedRockArt
My reviews are set to Blind so I do not see the names of those who are being reviewed.
Thus am not influenced by knowing who the artist may be, while reviewing their work.

Good tonal range from blacks to whites, just a bit too much contrast, as there is loss of detail in a major number of whites. A slight adjustment of contrast could take care of that.

This appears to suffer from a lack of sharpening. Digital captures lose sharpening in transfers from camera to computer. So Pros do Pre processing sharpening.

Then sharpness is also lost in processing, adjustment for brightness, contrast, conversion to JPGs, and sizing. So they also do Post Processing sharpening.
