This is a great scene that has a great look to it. At first glance it looks like a black and white photo. Then the very subtle colors are seen.

The monotone look gives a great feel for the winter scene. The snow on the branches and snow falling adds a very nice element. Nice work here Fred ~ Steve

I like this photograph. Snow scenes make nice images. I like your vantage point. Nice depth and lines. Good interest and contrast. I like the black and white.
Nicely balanced and centered.

This is an interesting view. The park looks lonely. Apparently, all creature hide in the cold of winter. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I like how the river lead the eyes of the viewer into the background. The monochromatic emphasizes the mood of photo. The landscape is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Not much snow, but just enough to gather on the tree limbs, which is really nice. It appears to still be snowing in this well composed shot with its sharp details.

Hi Fred, this is a scene that reminds me of Alaska , I love the first snowfall of the season, I can see the snow falling and I like the way the trees fill the top portion of the scene, love the way the water is reflecting the snowy ground . This is well focused , this image is clear, exposure is correct m the tones appear natural throughout , I like your perspective to show the bridge across the water. I would straighten this as the bridge slightly tilts to the right. Otherwise, well composed and presented!

    thanks so much again;
    no tilt if you look at the vertical structures; just perspective effect

Gives me the chill just looking at the picture. I can never tolerate this kind of weather. This is a lovely shot! The light and shadows and, composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Great photograph of the first snow, we have been getting it here for a while. It looks like very serene photograph with great composition. The bridge is sliding to the right, but that could be how it is built? Thank you for sharing.

    many thanks jirina; look at the vertical lines: they are perfectly vertical!

Nicely captured snowfall and bridge in the wintery weather. Even though picture got too many branches the lines of the river canal and bridge are very obvious and that's why picture got a great view. Great shot.

It is nice to see that some places are getting snow, because here in Oslo it is raining today. I am afraid all snow will disappear in a couple of days. It is a very idyllic place you have pictured here, and I especially like that I can see the snow falling.

The photo is nice and sharp all over, and the bridge is standing out well defined. The exposure is perfect.

The format and framing is working well, and the bridge has got a fine placement in the picture. A lovely and well taken photo Fred, and with a very good DOF.

    thanks a lot again Annie for your nice comments;
    as soon as the snow fall stopped, I was out with the camera: a good idea because a few hours later it melted;
