the snow was added in post with a brush I created using a tutorial I linked to in a discussion when this challenge was in shooting and is intentionally only falling on her. the snow globe was added in post. i had my daughter hold a soccer ball to get the pose right and i took a picture of the only snow globe i had with her jacket behind it to get the realistic pink color showing through and overlaid it. I replaced the background with another part of the same image that was then scaled up and stretched and blurred to isolate her more. finally i just added some split toning to set the colors to purple and pink hues and what was supposed to be a subtle glow around the ball.

awwww so cute. A little girl in the snow with her snow globe! Hello Kitty ear-muffs and all! The tree in the snow globe is a little to out there and in your face for me. I don't know if you boosted this of if that is how it came out but it is a bit distracting to me. One other thing I noticed first off is that it seems the snow is centered on her and not the whole photo. I don't know if this is correct or not but did you drop the snow on her? Overall=7
Very pretty and definitely magical. It's odd that the snow doesn't cover the whole fame but a very minor nit considering the rest. Love the hint of pink in the background that really pops the jacket color.
