Welcome to Steemit! I am from Virginia but live in the Philippines. I see you just joined. If you put 5 tags on each post, you will get better exposure to more people. Choosing the proper tag is a learning experience, that even today I am still working on.
I also am entered into the @daveks black and white photo contest.
For this post I suggest
#bwphtotcontest photography usa nature contest
Snow is OK too. The shadows tag only has 6 posts and two are yours.
Just trying to help!
God bless!
