Hi Sue.
Amazing scene for this time of year. Although we had snow on our mountains in early March, not long after a very late heat wave. I think you captured the scene well, with the snow people on the right balancing nicely the houses on the left. It must have been hard to get a good exposure in the very bright conditions, but you managed it and preserved some colour and detail in the sky. Maybe a slightly faster speed could have been used. I had a look at some of your other shots, and they're good; you're quite a self-effacing landscape photographer with a good eye for a shot.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello, Sue.

Not seen you here for a wee while! Nice to see you posting again - and what a fine shot this is!

Crytal-clear and sharp as a pin. Perfectly exposed too - not a mean feat with snow scenes. Nice composition with the child and the snowman nicely balanced by the houses diametrically opposite.

I think pretty much the whole country got quite a heavy fall of snow that morning but, as you say, it was gone by late afternoon. This was our street that morning.

Excellent!

Best Wishes,

John.
