Struggled with choosing the point of focus here after the fact, but I liked crunching down the blacks and adding a yellow cast.

Congratulations to the winners!
The soft snow removes any detail in the tops of the rocks, and "crunching down the blacks" removes any detail in the shadows. What am I left with? By your own admission, there is no point of focus.
Thanks again for your time- what I meant by "focus" was one of the rocks- the strong blacks do draw the eye to the rocks which was as intended, but within the three rocks, I couldn't make the center rock the clear focal point or the foreground rock the focal point. As this was a color grade contest, keeping everything dark overall with just a bit of yellow cast was aimed at an overall mood. With that in mind, any thoughts on better execution of my intent?
