I think this has an eerie look to it, like they're watching something alien in the back pasture. Actually, they are watching the snow falling. A longer exposure looked better but they couldn't hold still long enough for me.
Played with levels a little bit trying to get the snow to show up more.
Thanks so much for all the comments and votes.

Marj: the lighting in this image is very impressive. Congratulations on your 7th placing. Keep up your wonderful work and you will soon hit the pay dirt you deserve.
A great image with lots of "atmosphere" due.. mainly, to the way you`ve handled it.
This could very well have ribboned.
Congratulations on your top ten finish Marj.
This photo brings back memories of watching horse and elephant training in the big barns at the circus winter quarters as a kid. Great shot and thanks for the lovely memory. A new favorite for me.
I really like this photo. The feeling it gives is great. I think maybe it could have been cropped a bit more on the left side...but I always get people who tell me I crop too much..so dont listen to me! :) I give it a 9.
Is this person holding up a cat to watch something?! Great photo and the bizarre nature of that makes it even better in my opinion. Magnificent lighting. 9
