Pretty well done. Could be a painting by Millet (although I cant remember he ever painted a winter scenery) or any other 19th century realist painter. Perhaps I'd have kept the running dog sharper and its light from the original on his head and fur more intact, but that's personal. Also, I might have given some more contrast and a bit more gaussian blur for the barn, eventhough I'd understand your decision to make it lighter because it would be further away, but then the whole background should have a reduced contrast. Good luck!

agree would make a great card front.

Lovely image!

i think the barn looks too bright compared to the other parts of the image i like the setting and it just looks like a xmascard almost http://www.pxleyes.com/#
