 Okay, I've fallen into the trap. This is my first flirtation with a "grunge" look, and I gotta' say I'm likin' it. Question is, will the voters? It would be SO nice to start the new year with a high 5/low 6 :D
These are *coughfakecough* flowers, out in the snow (duh). Long exposure, painted some light in with a MagLight. Photoshopped in all the usual steps: curves, Hue & Sat, blah, blah, blah, and of course, a ton of Dodge and Burn.

I like the lighting/post processing effects you've used here to really emphasize the contrast.

Flowers seem a bit out of place in the snow, and the whole shot seems dim.
