Creative Effects Challenge No. 234 - RAW Snowy Landscape

After the clear day we have a clear night with a crescent moon and stars. I added the moon and stars, blended using lighten mode.

I love the golden hue on this edit Pete!

Kind regards
Chris

Thanks Helen and Chris for the comments.

Chris I think the golden hue is the result of the Nik “bright sepia’” filter.

Helen— For me this challenge is always fun. Not only is it interesting to see the different edits but also it is the thought, “Gee, I wish I would have thought of that”.  

Thanks, Pete. My favorite challenge. I think we can all learn from seeing the different approaches members take. Keep 'em coming everyone!

Clicking on your image allows me to see the painterly texture that you have added, Chris. Very nice!

Thank you all for participating and editing my image. I am impressed by all of your many skills and vast knowledge of techniques far beyond my basic photo editing abilities.

Following are brief comments about all submissions (in order of appearance) and then I have "selected" three submissions that stand out for me. (Hope I have not missed any submissions.) 
1) fotofrank  Frank, a pleasing "simple' edit that accentuates the sky and barn. This is an improvement if my flat original.  Good crop suggestion.
2) hmca  Helen, as with Frank's your edits are simple and subtly effective.
3) Peterj  Peter, an effective cold-and-stormy-night outcome. Brrrr
4) tonyw  A much brighter effect that turns this into a bitterly cold day. Like Frank's this is a vast improvement if my flat original.
5) Lillias Lillias. I love the overall effects that have turned this into a cold, wintery postcard
6) Peterj  Peter, a "warm" version of a cold winter's day. 
7) fotofrank  Frank, this is what I'll be dreaming about for a few months.  An effective alteration that, for the unknowing, would be difficult to detect.
8) PeteB  Pete, I really like the outcome here. Looks like a moonlit night ... with snow.
9) hmca  Helen, an effective B&W with ominous clouds.
10) Peterj  Peter, the overall night effect works well and the moon suggests a clear and bitterly cold night.
11) Lillias Lillias. An effective outcome: a pleasing, bright winter scene.
12) Chris Chris, the "warm" effect suggests the beginning of a pending warm day that will thaw the frost. Pleasing effects.
13) Chris Chris, you certainly accomplished your "dreamy landscape" and I really like the outcome.
14) hmca  Helen, excellent outcome that begs a "Merry Christmas" banner.
All winners and thanks to all. These submissions stood out for me:
