 This probably won't do very well, but I had a lot of fun with this picture and wanted to see what people thought.

I made a duplicate layer, and desaturated everything and then added a gausian blur. Then the top layer I removed everything but the two people and left them in color. Blurred the snow flakes on the color layer so they didn't stand out so much.

More editing than usual, but within the open rules.

Nice old-time flavor to this scene with the buggys in the background and out of focus. I like the way the man and girl are in focus and have the only color in the shot. Very nice composition.

The black and white background against the people in color is a nice effect here.
