Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

A wonderful wintery scene. Love the building in browns and the snow falling. Nicely composed too.

Scenes captured of falling snow are seldom attractive, the snow ending up as short streaks rather than individual flakes. Also, the camera will sometimes focus on the closer flakes leaving the background fuzzy. That all makes for a poor quality photograph. For this one I'm guessing you may have been under some kind of shelter, possibly in a vehicle? There's obviously snow falling but none up close to the lens. That's good. It allows the falling snow or light fog to be a part of the scene and not overpower it. It also acts as a nice softening element for the stone building. By its very nature stone facing on a building gives it a strong, heavy, slightly overbearing character. Your light snow (or fog or whatever is going on here) softens it enough to give it a welcoming character. It makes this the sort of place I would love to see in real life. The addition of the boats and docks give the structure purpose as well. The only thing I would have suggested was to have pulled back just a little to bring in a little more water and ice. I usually try to capture a little extra space around my subjects so later, in Photoshop, I can crop, straighten. and compose the elements as I please without losing anything critical. A nice job with this one and into my favorites file.
