Love the layers of blue and white with the house nestled in between The colors and lighting are great. The house is a great center of interest with the snow all over it but we can still see the details of it. Like the sun breaking through the clouds which fits your title. Trees on each side of the house frame it well and balance the picture well. Impact is great and creativity of presentation. Susan:)

I always say I'm going to stick to reviewing photos since I don't really know anything about creating my own art, but then something catches my eye on the first page.
This is a really beautiful scene with lots of dramatic contrast. (I don't know why someone would leave this beautiful country to live in Florida, the land of hurricanes and unbearable humidity.)
I did notice one strange phenomenon. The light seems to come from inconsistant directions and the sunbeams spread out from the cloud as though the sun was immediately behind the cloud and not millions of miles away (not sure how far away it is actually... lol) but then I'm probably just thinking too hard. It doesn't have to be realistic necessarily or you could just take a photo and touch it up instead of painting it, right.

Oh this is so pretty! It evokes all kinds of thoughts. My first one was brrr and the second was I hope they have a lot of food and wood. Very impressive how you captured the light, shadows, and icy feathery feel of the trees. You are such a wonderful digital artist.

Wow! This is a super work of art and really looks like a photograph. This is super and you can be very proud of this work. I really do like this and the colors and shadows here are just super. Just looking at this work makes me cold, very real looking. GREAT WORK!

What a strong delightful picture

If only it could be real and I suppose somewhere it can be but it wont be where I am

So fortunately we have a good artist to create this for us and what a great piece of work

The snow bound house sits there in the picture beautifully
