Excellent set Martha, the focus is great, the composition, colours and tones even better, put it all together, they are just right.

great work and well worth the effort Marta! .. You've captured falling snowflakes in each shot, and the dof is outstanding across the board ..

lovely shots, what kind of lens were you using?

PS - I like your signature. If I may add, not all that glitter is gold ^^
