Really nice set of shots Phil.
The last one in particular really stands out for me. I think it's a cracker!

Oh, so if they were all spot metered then how come only the first had a blown background? Just wondering as metering is new to me and I'm eager to learn!

It might just be because all there is in the background is pure white snow where the others have a mixture of things. Whilst it's the same aperture - It's a slightly slower shutter speed than the others which will have given a different exposure.
