Great addition to your winter series,Tom. The snow and the dark season make it to an almost (beautiful) B&W photograph, while the sunlight peeking through the trees adds a fine play of light and shadows.
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

I marvel at how you catch the snow at just the right moment, and the water stays without being froze over. Does the water ever freeze over? Anyway your photos are always beautiful.
