This photo shows some other possible subjects, which is distracting, but gives you lots of ideas for other images - is there snow or ice on that fence in the left? are those geese or something on the right? what are those wooden structures on the right? the shadows get interesting in the lower right of the photo, could that be used somehow?
I like the second picture. First of all I love black and white, but this image also uses the "rule" of thirds well. It has a strong subject placed somewhere off-center and is otherwise very uncluttered. I think thats what snow does best - covers up a bunch of distractions and makes certain things stand out.

Thanks Eric!
I was actually as close-up as the lens would allow in the first pic. Definitely see what you mean about changing the angle - that would have been good. Love the idea of the walk leading up to the tree.
Thanks for opinion on the second - I actually took it before I learned about the rule of thirds, so really pleased about that!
The third doesn't work as well as I hoped I think- I've missed the left of the tree, and the beautiful curly ends of the branches aren't very clear at all, it's just looks a bit bushy!
