 Took this pic in the fresh (deep) snow covering my back yard. Had to carefully backtrack to keep the effect of the footprints simply ending. This picture emotes "despair" in many ways ... through its lack of color, mild contrast and simple subject matter. Digital Darkroom: level adjustments only.

White balance is terrible. Looks like blue snow.

This would have been interesting if you had a person falling down/kneeling at the end of the footprints.

White border doesn't really work for this picture. It makes the snow appear blue/gray and ruins the contrast between the footsteps and the snow.
