Description
Hi! Fitting to the upcoming winter a snowy 3D rendering
Created and rendered in Blender 2.68 (Cycles)
1500 Samples on FullHD
Hope you like it
Pls leave a comment or give me a 
EDIT:
Decreased the dispertion of the lens-distortion and added some minor details to the central snowball for more realism!

Thank's!
I think it would be a nice wallpaper

While the DOF is perfect, it looks like you have the dispersion on your lens-distortion node a bit high for photo-realism.
I would be very curious to see the node-setup for the snow material then. It's very realistic, and almost looks as if some sort of sub-surface scattering was involved?

Thank's for that critique. I will use the dispersion effect more carefully next time
I am glad to hear that you like the snow material. I have posted a picture of it on my twitter account: pic.twitter.com/XBG4Mpiz9X Have fun

I've got the material down now, but I'm missing that lovely orange glow the snow has between the light and the shadow. I've played with sky color a bit and the sun color, but can't seem to catch it.

Mmh the sun-lamp shines in a acute angle on the snow and has a orange-red color and a strength of 10.
But I think most color improvements I had achieved with the post-processing!
So I have posted a picture of the node setup on my twitter account: pic.twitter.com/r6VWPjit6d
The quality is not the best because twitter compressed pictures really much but I hope you still can recognize all. Have fun!

Yeah. I have a hard time judging how much dispersion to put on my own pieces, I always need to hand it off to someone else to look at to make sure it's not too strong.
And thank you so much for the snow-material nodes! I'm a little bit sad that it uses sub-surface scattering, simply because that means I'll have to do some careful setup to get both CPU and GPU rendering with cycles. I'll be sure to play around with this a bit, thanks!!

Yeah dispersion should be used not too strong. In case of doubt: Less is more
No problem
And I have to render all on CPU 'cause my Mac only have got a AMD without CUDA. So GPU rendering is not supported up to now
So it takes approximate 2 hours (I don't really know. I was sitting in school
