This may be overdoing the old expression about home. The living room window looks like an upgrade but this place bears every sign of utter abandonment. Still, the cabin's dogged endurance, highlighted by sunny sky and bright snow, made for a curious mix of structural melancholy and cheerful environment.

Way to go, Ed. This one really has a great look about it. As noted so poetically in your narrative, there's a great contrast between the sunny, blue skies and the aging wood in the cabin. I'll (naively) anticipate Doug's comments. I think you could have used a drop more foreground to achieve better balance in the composition. I personally would have doubled the distance from the bottom edge to the lower extremities of the cabin.
While I tend to agree that sometimes less sky is better, I'm not sure what you could have done to minimize the amount of simple, blue sky without going after those trees with a chain saw. Personally if I wasn't so lazy I also would have considered cloning out the telephone pole in the background as well. On a 1 to 10 scale I'd give this a 7.5. I'll check back and see if your C-Index is 75 on this beauty.

I'm not afraid of dying. I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Dorothy's right on. The cabin is the prime subject, and it needs substantially more foreground.
It is surrounded by trees, so cropping down from the top to about where the vapour trail is, actually eliminates a large distracting influence. If you wanted to stay a bit above the vapour trail, it would be a good idea to clone it out, as it is distracting as well.
Literally everything but the cabin is vertical, and tends to minimize the subject, while cropping through the trees rearranges the format to horizontal, maximizing the cabins impact with a good diagonal, while still adequately using the trees and sky to advantage.
