One of my favorite subjects. It took me a couple of years to get the hang of it. This one probably can't be improved with cropping, I'm afraid. But try this next time: move around until the winged statue is isolated against the dark trees, use a little wider {aperture,f-stop,focal ratio,hole-in-the-lens} and frame a little tighter; I believe you will get the affect you are after. Next winter when it snows again, take along several rolls of film and shoot the place to pieces.

You've managed to chop a gravestone on the left hand side, so that's an idea candidate to crop out. If you just crop out the thin bit you've then chopped the next gravestone in, so you may want to crop that as well. If you've got a print of this then make up some L shapes out of cardboard and polace them on the print. Move them around until you are happy with what you see.

this comment has got nothing to do with technicalities. I was feeling rotten today.. and searched on this 'ROTTEN PSYCHOLOGY' .. But surprise .. this really is serene and earthly .. did not lift my spirit up, but calmed it a bit. Thanks. And I can not but notice the flakes that are near to the lense and give a feeling of little subdued stars glowing near ground level, dont know whether that was intended or not!
