Nicely composed, with great detail in the snow.

I really like the composition and asymmetric balance in this shot. Nice light too.

Certainly on theme, but lack interest.

Nice light, well-shot and clearly has the road as a key element, but could be more exciting visually.

The 700-year marriage between Sweden and Finland ended after the Finnish War 1808-1809 when Finland was annexed to Russia as an autonomous Grand Duchy. Alexander I, the Czar of Russia, convened the Diet in Porvoo in 1809. The peasant caste collected in the house of Orraeus. This red house was built in 1790 as a part of the Orraeus house. Nowadays there is a cafe "Wanha Laamanni" in that red house.

I would like to have seen this shot taken from a little more to the right so as to include more of the left hand side buildings but overall a very pleasing shot.

could you have increased aperture so that depth of field was greater? I think the picture would be improved by more of it being in focus (eg building on left, which is my main interest)

shame about the cars... but nothing you can do about that.

which old town is it? i'm thinking somewhere in scandanavia as it looks like a bit of Oslo.

The photo was taken in Porvoo town in southern Finland. Porvoo was first mentioned in documents in the early 14th century, and Porvoo was given city rights around 1380.
