Winter research photographs

Below are some winter images that I have found to be a bit different from the normal wintry wonderland images that I have also found.The use of subject, colour, contrast, reflection (image 1) lighting (images 2 & 3) have created images that are immediately recognisable as winter related.

Although I find all of the images above visually appealing and depictive of winter, I am going to aim to use an image that is not directly linked to winter like these christmas images, it is my hope to create an image that gives the impression of winter - but isn't!
