It is cold outside. (-10° this morning) But, the sun delivers nice light. So lets Go Digital.... :lol:
Next time it must be better, so give me some tips.

Hi Brocot,
Your light is so far different to what I experience here, I wouldn't know where to start to suggest change.
Here, with the sky exposed as it is and the sun where it is, the boat would have been almost totally dark. I guess you are getting reflection from the frost (-10° BRRR!. It is +20° here at the moment - 10:30 AM)

I really like #2. It gives me some sense of the conditions there at the moment.

I don't feel that the boat adds to the photo in either of the others. I like the placement in the first, but it is not lit well to my eye. In the second, the lighting is better, but it is lost in the landscape and, like the power lines adds a jarring note, but then that may have been what you were after.

The shadow on the 3de photo, is because of some large trees on the left.
The photos where shot from a small road.
thank You

Wow, beautiful light and I wish I had somewhere with snow to shoot!
My favourite is the #2, I love the light and the layers as you look into the image.
The other two are great too, but #2 speaks to me most, I think I'd prefer the last one without the boat in it to be honest.
It seems out of place in the winter wonderland.

#1 - Spectacular colour, although I find the bush on the far right a little distracting... Perhaps a more agressive crop on the right side? Keep the boat for sure, it's integral.

#2 - Definitely my favourite as well. It reminds me of a wild-west style desert, but magically covered in ice. The sky colours are delicious

#3 - Would likely be nicer sans-boat. Feels a bit flat and uninteresting. Perhaps you could have taken it a touch lower and brought the coloured bush on the right-ish bottom into the picture more... Losing some sky on the top would have been acceptable loss imho

Thanks for sharing
