The Snow

I think this is one of my strongest photos to date. But I'm still looking for critique because I know there's definitely something to improve! Any comments are appreciated.

What is your ISO at? Looks a little noisy in the background.

iso 640 ... but why?

Anytime I shoot in the daytime brightness I'm at the highest of 200.

I like the composition though.

Everyone says snow is easy to shoot in, but man, I have folders full of blown out pictures. I'm getting much better at it, though.

Critiques always appreciated!

A little dark on the bark in my opinion.

Composition is good. Could the right tree be a little more out of focus?

Also what about clone stamping out the house on the left hand side so its just forest all the way behind?

Didn't even notice the house - thank you!

I added some film grain in Lightroom, just testing that look out. I liked it for this particular photo.

Well, to tell you the truth, it's that high because that's what I used for the last photos I took... indoors. I completely forgot to change it, somehow. I'll pay better attention next time.
