Effectively Simon I used one graduated ND filter and perhaps and maybe it too visible, but the horizontal dark area is normal because they are trees without leaves...

Nice series. HDR effects? First and last are my two favorites out of the group. The 2nd and third are nice comps, but the uneven tones (dark in the middle of the frames) are a little distracting.

well, iam not one to argue as you took the shots. but to me there are leaves of yellow still visible in the dull areas. clearly a hard edge grad was used (too hard perhaps)

Yes exactly for photo 2 and 3, I used 2 graduate filter, sorry I forgot that.... But I'am sure that in the dark aera, just under snow there are not leave, except in a aera above thes home and at right just in the V of the tree of the first plan...
I don't speak English very well and I hope to be understandable...
The pictures are very nice, but IMHO, the white framing just detracts from the photograph, particularly #4, it's hard to enjoy your work. Perhaps that's your trademark, everyone has one, but it just doesn't work for me. Without the effect of the hard grad ND, I'm sure the photos would pop more, but the dark edge effects are not so appealing. #5 is my favorite of the bunch, with #1 following close behind!
