Number 3 gets my vote
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

They're good. I particularly like no.3 but no.2 has a special bleakness. I might perhaps have given them a bit of a levels boost, but the muted range of tones works.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Number 3 for me too, it's a good one. Agree with Andrew the other two need a levels adjustment.

No 3 - my kind of shot! Nice one.

Thanks all
I have altered the levels somewhat but held off doing too much as the bright snowy/frosty parts were over exposing

I really like no.3 Roy. As for the other two, they do look a bit under - the PSE levels histogram confirms. There's a big gap after the 'peak' on the right (representing the brightest tones):

If you pull the white slider across until it meets the 'peak' on the right of the histogram, the whites will be rendered properly white without 'blowing'. But of course it's a matter of preference
