Wallace Nutting said of this snow scene from Rhode Island: "Curling Snow Fingers impressed the camerist as a wholly attractive subject. The probable criticism would be that the picture lacks life, or fails to tell a good story. It merely shows a winter effect of much beauty. The lack of distance may be an objection to it." Wallace Nutting illustrated this picture in his 1927 book, 'Photographic Art Secrets' (plate 38).
