One of two ideas I had for this challenge. As per usual, looked so much better in my head. The snow wasnt packing snow, which made it a little more difficult to work witih.

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 6.
I think you did a great job considering it wasn't packing snow. You must have magic hands. My first constructive criticism would be that since this photo was taken for a "before & after" challenge, it might make a little more sense to have the full snowman on the left, and the melted snowman on the right, as we generally read from left to right. I love the contrast of the white snow people against the black background. This image might benefit from a little more brightness overall, as the details for the melted snowman are a little difficult to see. My last comment would be that the reflection of the full snow man is a little distracting because it is almost a whole reflection, but not quite. I would either crop the image so that only a small portion of the reflection shows, or crop it so that the entire reflection shows. I think that would strengthen the photo a little bit more. Overall, very comical shot.
If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.
I like your low key lighting thats directional. What I don't like is that fact you cut off the reflections head. I think the full reflection would frame this shot better.
Goodness! Don't get on Frosty's bad side! I like this, it meets the challenge well. Would have liked a little more light. Perhaps a flaming match (or at least a burnt one) instead of an unlit one.
