like it very much although I'm unsure about if it is near to oversharpened.

I also like this the conversion is very beautifull and the contrast range works well, but for me is missing something in the composition, but i can't say what.

Jan, I like the composition and the coldness. I don't mind the high contrast, as it seems to fit the scene...the mist is also fitting to the coldness of the image. It does look to me like it needs a slight CW tilt, as it is leaning slightly to the right... I could see this one on high quality paper..:o)

I think this is a creditable attempt at a quite difficult scene. Lots of contrast to handle and it's almost there IMO. I do find it technically unsettling in the same general and slightly indefinable way as have the other commenters. In the end, I think it's down to oversharpening, which seems particularly evident in the LLH foreground, where the scene is reduced to almost pure binary black and white, and in the skyline where the tree trunks are a bit unnaturally bold against the white of the sky. Though there's lots of detail to be seen here, I wonder how this would look if taken in the other direction, to more softness?

I have seen your other photos and in a few minutes I'm going to go rate one that I really like but right now I'm coming down hard on this one. If you show a Canadian a winter scene, it needs to be interesting because snowy scenes are easy to find here (except for the lack of snow in this past January). The snow here looks totally overexposed. The image lacks a subject. That cylindrical structure could have been an interesting focal point but it is too unsharp. There appear to be more structures on top of the hill but the shallow depth-of-field and the blown-out sky make it hard to tell. Actually, it is difficult to distinguish detail in the top half of the image. I do like the water and I always like the way fresh snow sits on bare tree limbs and rocks. If there is something I don't understand about the treatment then I am open to an explanation but I have to say that it really doesn't work for me.

I think this is well done. The water tower (?) provides a good subject. The conversion adds to the atmosphere.
