It's normal for snow in shade to photograph blue when the photo also includes snow in full sun, but I'd find the photo more appealing if the

The colour on the edit is superior, so I am leaning toward that image, but there is way too much dead space in this shot to get my full support. A shot of the same image size that focused solely on the house itself would be a better shot IMO. Considering the lack of focus in the surrounding area

But this photo doesn't show the asymmetry very well because the side wall is so deep in shadow. -- 252:(particularly the gate), I think you'd be as well off just cropping.

Complete desaturation of the white snow (the shadows obviously are still blue as they should be).
122: 194:, encyclopaedic and good composition. I can still see some noise but most of it is gone. -- 253: 199: 175: 351: 291: 272: 233: 146: 216:
