Snow is not exactly something you expect to see on palm trees (or in an environment where palm trees grow), so it's a fun surprise to see it here. The visual irony is wonderful and made this photograph stand out for me. Great job!

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Does anything say ‘Winter’ more simply and evocatively than snow? It transforms our familiar landscapes, makes possible a whole range of different sports, and brings children and adults alike out of doors to build a snowman and make a snow fairy.

I love the layered patterns in this image. Great job capturing the geometric placement of the tiles and the more organic patterns of footprints and tire tracks on top. Snow is like a blank canvas when it falls, and I enjoy seeing what humans can make of it.

I really love the colors and lighting of this image. The blue tones of the snow nicely complement the warm yellow sunlight on the building roofs. You've turned what might otherwise be an ordinary scene into something very visually dynamic. Great job!
