That's really great... The only thing I might add is that it needs "wintery" clouds... cirrus clouds-- high, horse-tails... Cumulus (as depicted in the photo) only really form when there's air warm enough for water vapor, and humidity high enough to let clouds pile up like that.

Either you need to make the sky seem more arid / brighter or you need to tone down the brightness of the snow itself. A crisp white / blue sky might work for you.

Great first attempt though...
