I Love the color of the sunlight on the wooden benches. The snow provides a soft contrast. It would have been a plus if the stone wall in the upper right had been covered with snow!

I like the angular composition and the feeling of chill (snow) and warmth (wood) on a cold, sunny day.

Beautiful use of curved lines to take your eye across the photo. The golden hour does it again.

Sun and snow and the perfect vehicle to convey the scene.

So glad you got up early. The light is special, and the undisturbed snow adds much to the atmosphere. Nice composition.
