Hi Adam,

The first shot has an air of unreality. Cars like toys, monochromed by the
snow and only a trace of colour in the yellow lines. I looked at it for ages
and on several occasions. Mesmeric!

The second shot has a very course look which detracts slightly for me but I
liked the pocket of warmth and light and I think that effect would be
lessened if you were to crop.

Thanks for posting.
