Man, that's a pity.
Red X - no pics show up !
And I was soooo curious...

Mattepaintings are a rareness...

well done! The first flaw I see though is the car windows-- a bit too flat? Too bright? Can't place it but it sticks out.

Great !!! I see it now.
Boah, that's excellent. Very well done!!
I agree with the car windows thing...

Convincing!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice pic dude, the snow is very convincing. I agree with what odd said, because it seems too patterned, maybe randomize the snow fluff on that window and it looks much better.

oh, and the bg is sweet too!

Incredibly well done! I agree with odd and Bang, though. The snow on the rear car window is throwing the entire realism off, in my opinion. Other than that, I think it's simply wonderful.

Your deciduous trees have way too few branches and twigs. Nice picture.

Nice Matte, your certainly fooled my eye.

Nicely done. A few technincal details that you can use or ignore.

1) Drifting snow. A house out in the open like that would have some wind affected snow - ie. drifts. There would be small to medium sized, smooth mounds on the roof and near any wall that meets the ground. Not everywhere though - but maybe even some by where the road meets the concrete. Also around the base of bushes and trees.

2) Icicles. On the posted and the linked pic the icicles need to be clear - they're made from melting water - so they have the same makeup of an ice cube.

3) Perhaps a little added touch would be to add more effects from the cars on the driveway and street. Perhaps treadmarks on the driveway made of snow. I know when I shovel the driveway those treadmarks stick and stay a while - there often last to melt on the driveway/street.

a part of the hedge is left on the wall on the right side of the house. it struck me ass odd.

great job!!! well done. I just have to say that i have some problem with your trees. They don't look that really, thhats the main problem i found in this picture. But its just to give my opinion. The rest looks great!

AWESOME
Matte Paintings must take so much patience.
I have a problem that i become restless after a while.

The left car windows are indeed a little to much kind of "cross hatched"

but : AWESOME !

Hah... I see your copy and pasted tree there. That's the first thing I saw, actually. I'm surprised no one else mentioned it.

Whoops... and the copy/pasted/mirrored/stretched bush there in the front. Quit it! :p
