Trust me, I had fun trying!!! It's was so cold!!! I'm getting up early to try again when the sun comes out and before it melts the snow away!!! Just going to dress warmer!!!
I took this on my iPhone before it started snowing didn't think we were going to get 1 to two inches of snow!!!

You're on the right track. Open up the aperture, if you can, to throw the background more out of focus.
Keep 'em coming.

It's good you tried and even better you recognized that you failed and even better than that that you had the courage to share. You tried the 1/3 approach but there was nothing for the eye to follow. Next the grass covered by snow, here you have a center of interest but nothing to carry the eye away and last once again composition. Go to an art gallery, online if needed see how the basics are used. Also get Picassa and hit the "Lucky" button to whiten up the snow and play the crop tool. Here is a recent shot,hand-held, natural light, cropped and vingeted in Picassa/ Keep at it. I have been shooting for 60 years and learn something new every day.
