Wow lovely! Full white on the branches.
I'm not sure if this is at all helpfull (I think you know what your doing!) tips for shooting in snow I'm wondering if you did keep tip 4 in mind?
The reason I'm asking is more for my own learning! I only started shooting photo's little over a month ago. But from what I know the branches seem to lose a bit of their identity because it gets eaten by the sky.
I really do love these kind of photo's! I love the beauty of winter. And yours really keeps my attention!

4. Don't Trust Your Camera's Exposure Meter
Think about it this way: Learn what your camera is trying to tell you, and know how to adjust it accordingly. The problem is that snow is pure white, and when you take a picture, your camera exposes it so it comes out gray. Worse, if your photo is composed mostly of snow but features a dark, small subject (like a person), then that subject will be underexposed. The fix? Overexpose the shot by about one stop using your camera's exposure
Thank you for your comments.......1-Canon7d....2-Shoot everything Raw...3-I did over expose by a stop......Recently I had asked Tony if SPE had a real hard B/W option it was posted and I used it here......4-Back in the 1960s/70s a lot of high contrast was used in poster design and other art work we would take the photo and print on hard no contrast paper (hit it hard) Now that we have digital cameras this is much easier to do.....when you over expose areas are over exposed it's part of the process......the snow was very heavy on the branches.....and hour later snow was gone.............Bill.....
