First Snow of the Season

[ront]

We had our first snow of the season this last Friday. There really was not much to speak of, but it made things pretty! I am just hoping that we do not have a winter last the last two have been!!!!
I have two photos here of the same picture with just a bit different processing in color. Do you have a preference between the two or are they to close to really matter. These were all taken just before sundown.
Thanks for any input.

Thanks, Ron

Just a close up of some weeds.

I prefer the second; the lower left grass seems a little warmer; correct? But, they are very similar as you said. I really like the last one too. These look crisp, cold and clean! I guess the seasons are changing!

Beautiful! I also like the second one better.

Ron, beautiful!! Bundle up, because we're gonna want you to go out there every time it snows to post more photos throughout the season :lol3

Thanks for your comments!! This is an HDR effort from the same afternoon. It is a bit soft maybe, but I also really liked it.
