It's a very nice scene. My thought was exact what Ham said about darkening, especially the window. My eye immediately goes to the lady in the mask because of the joint between the mirror and the fact the line of the fireplace leads to her. I find darkening makes the subject clearer. I also eliminates the glare of the light bouncing off the mirrors?, glass over paintings? on the wall between the window and the fireplace
If you don't want to darken the whole thing, try darkening the window and the glare on the panels, especially above the mirrors/glass. Darkening would also help with the lamp use to the right of the(?) coat rack and the object, some kind of dish? to the left of the rack. Then leave the lights over the mantel alone because I think they do add to the photo. I would consider playing with the brightness of all three lamps before the diners darkening the one in the rear more and then have the other two brighter in statesas the you go forward |

I'd try the suggested crop, however and see how it looks |

Great shot! Love the colors, the leading line of the fence. I initially had mixed feelings about the fence but I think because it continues and winds back it leads to the stream and I think I'll ignore the temptation to say the fence leads off the page.
On blue snow, was there blue sky overhead the foreground that we can't see? It looks like the s now in the background picks up the glow of the sky there so if there was clear sky overhead of the foreground we would get blue snow in the front, yellow brown cast in the back

Very good photo and excellent choice for B/W. I think I would spend the time trying to edit out the small trees (or whatever plants) in the lower center and lower left. I wouldn't bother with the one in the lower right. There's not at all I don't like. Great detail. There's a bright metallic triangle if you go up from the big gear on the left and past those two joints or whoever they are about an inch and a half from the top left of the screen on my computer. I'd darken it or clone it out. |

I've had that on focus--a cloud in the way so that there's moisture in the air and it's not obvious. I think the crop helps. |

Cool shot--unusual and very interesting. Not your usual color palette, The mountain is losing focus but I think you could crop the photo down and get rid of that and also crop out some the bright parts of the water. I really like the lines of what I guess is pipes? But it's a bit soft where it does the little zig zag. I think the essential element is the pipes leading to the smoke (or steam) so the cropping I suggest would emphasize that. |

Very nice shot. I might be tempted to tone down the whites the left part of the sky.I would edit out the two rocks (think that's what they are) in the lower left in the water. They draw the eye to where you don't want it. I think I'd chop about an inch across the bottom I think that would make for relatively even thirds between the water, land and sky and let the lines in the (whatever is floating on the water?) become more effective. Might even dark them a bit |
