alberti,
Thank you for submitting this photo. I like the composition and I see potential for a great moody shot.
The first thing I noticed is that it has a very limited color palette so I think it would look better as a BNW. After converting to BNW I used a curves tool in Photoshop and pulled the midtone toward to create more contrast. It does appear that areas of snow are blown out. The are where the tire tracks end in particular seem blown out but there are other areas. There's not you do to fix this in screenshot jpeg but with a RAW file you can hopefully correct that.
I hope this gives you some ideas to consider.
Best wishes,

Thank you for your feedback, it is true that the black and white treatment is judicious.With my thanks.
Hello alberti Patrick and welcome to the Critique Forum.
This is a very nice wintery scene in the forest. I like the composition and the mood.
My colleague Mike has given you some good suggestions. It is true that there is not a lot of colour in the image, which is often the case in winter and scenes like this lend themselves well to b/w photography.
But I am offering you here two versions, one in colour and one in b/w.
In the colour one, what I did was import you image in Nik Color Efex pro and apply the Detail Enhancer, Foliage and ProContrast to bring out the details, a little bit more colour on the lichen and to increase the contrasts. Then, for the background in the center, I added some fog to increase that snowy wintery feeling to the image.
Then I adjusted the Levels a little bit.
After doing all that, I imported that image in Nik Silver Efex Pro to try a b/w version. I used the Lens Fall Off filter. And I adjusted the Levels in that version too.
So here are two other possibilities for you to consider or be inspired by.
Happy shuttering.

Hello Alberti,
Thank you for sending the photo to this forum.
A beautiful winter day. It reminds me a bit of a painting my grandmother painted a long, long time ago.
A nice composition and an interesting introduction of the viewer into the image. I suggested emphasizing the center of the image a bit more by adding light and adding a light vignette around the camera.
I have shown my proposal in the attached photo.
Best regards
