Very little post processing done here. Tweaked curves and sharpening in Bibble 4.1, adjusted custom white balance. Exported to JPG, then performed final downsample to 640 px and clean-up sharpening.
Taken on an extremely snowy day... In fact, we had just received about 6" of the fresh stuff. I've been wanting to do this shot for a while, so regardless of how it fares in the challenge, I'm pleased that I finally "made it happen"!

Cool and meeting the challenge. This is equivalent to single side lighting where only one side is discernable. The trees do creat an interesting frame within a frame. bumping up.
the beautiful vibrant blue and snow patch draw the attention down , the image cropped to a square would draw the viewer towards the serious regard of the face ; I like the contrast of the tree bark patterns and the skin , and the elusiveness of the face
Good idea...but I would crop in tighters and forget the snow...there is not enough of it and it appears disturbed...nicer with undisturbed snow IMO. I would brighten up your face..as it seems you are a bit shy. Thanks for sharing. Roxane
A good idea. I think that a tighter crop without the snow would have increased the impact. Snow can be very dificault to deal with in photographs and in this photograph it distracts from the main subject.
