Default Snow scene - London - Very Surreal

This was taken last year in London when the snow was at its heaviest. It is actually a bicycle route - very scenic and beautiful but made even more beautiful by the snow. Tell me what you think. How could I have improved it?

Thanks for your time

My first thought was that I would've used a longer exposure instead of a flash to get more even lighting, but then you wouldn't have been able to capture the falling snow as you did...and I really like that about this shot. Definitely a tricky one to get the lighting right, but I think it's a pretty good shot. I like the composition and it is a beautiful spot.

yeah i agree, longer exposure would definitely do the trick as the light from the sky still can reflect off snow as it would in the day.

Welcome to DPS. I'd like to invite you to take a peek at the guidelines as there are a couple things you are missing in your post. Thanks a million!!
