Very nice mood, especially in the thumbnails. A bit too dark for my taste (or
not dark enough) especially the first one.

Have to agree with Kris, snow is too dark. Through trial, error and histogram
I've found that +3 stops of exposure comp is needed for snow dominant shots.
Maybe even +4 stops.

If memory serves me, most photo guide books say 2.5 stops. I find that the K-5
requires only about plus 1.5 to plus 2 exposure comp when using matrix metering.

Paul, your memory serves you better than mine serves me. :-)
The K-5 is smarter than the K20D when it comes to extremes, I think. In
a K20D shot I posted here back in January [*] I added only +1.5 stops of
comp. After some "too dark" feedback, I PP'ed it up to +2.5 stops and it
looks 100% better. I even printed it -- reminds me: I still need to
frame it.
So 2-3 stops up (rather than 3-4). That should do it.
