I love snow! I really like the way you were able to capture the snow falling.
I think I’d play around with the crop on the first picture, perhaps cropping at the bottom so there’s a bit less of the blank whited out foreground.
In the second picture, compositionally, I think it would’ve been nice to step back a bit and include more of the church, as well as more of the post of the mailbox. It looks cut off. 🙂 As far as editing goes, it would be nice to edit out the telephone wires if possible.
2. The photo is very important, (of course) but next to the photo, the title is just as equally important! So always make sure your title is large and in charge! This will help add some “background” to the photo, and just makes it look more all around nice.
I’m not sure that I quite agree with this comment. A photo shouldn’t need a title to tell its story. A great photo is one that tells its own story, leaving the viewer with no unanswered questions. A title is nice, but not necessary.
