Thanks, mac
Yes, those mag's will be breaking the silence soon. If not, you can guarantee there'll be a flock
of cawing crows making a racket as they head for the roost.
Thanks for looking in. I'll post a revision after this post, which should help to emphasise the not quite fading light. I've touched the
riverbanks and changed the palette for the shadows. Also dabbled with the sky. That's it for now.

Thanks again, mac, for coming back to this thorny effort.
Believe it or not I'm still working on this. I've decided to darken the edges
of the sky and snow considerably to intensify the central glow.
The palette for the shadows was titanium white, phthalo blue, cadmium red and a touch of Paynes grey.
It gives one of the many "artist's greys". They are softer than a combination of black and white. You can
even add a touch of primary yellow to the mix, although I'm always scared of a potential green emerging.

It's starting to look like a "Spot the Difference" comp'.
