My facebook fans are loving this one. Is it really good or is it just FB being FB?

I like the photo...and I shot it for a reason, but I didn't think it was worthy of praise.

A combination of both, probably. The snow on the bench is really, really cool, which might explain why you grabbed your camera in the first place. Shooting the scene from a little bit higher might've shown more of that cool snow. That being said, this seems like a slightly-failed attempt at a symmetric image (but the problem may still be fixable in post, or maybe you have a more symmetric shot). Also, much like with your red-cup shot, the snow looks gray so I'd up the exposure until it looks almost as white as the TPF background.

Yeah, I was metering for +1 and I had ec at +1 and 1/3 and they still came out under exposed on quite a few.

So I still have more practice with snow.

I could fix some of it in post, but really most of these are fun snapshots with the occasional thought involved during my 4 mile trek around town during the storm.

On this one, I liked the way the bench stood out, and naturally the snow on the top was cool.

This one I edited to what I would have considered overexposed. Is this more what we are aiming for with snow? I was hoping to keep texture in it, and not have it just blown out white when I was shooting, but it all came out pretty gray.

That snow looks just perfect to me: white as snow, and still with some visible texture.

Cool, thanks. Now that I know what it should look like, I have a reference point. lol

I played with this one a bit, about all the time I want to spend on it. lol Upped exposure and adjusted tilt a bit. Could not get it all white whithout blowing it out, shadowing in my framing. I would have liked to have it a few degrees higher though. oh well. lol
