- though I think I might have exposed her just a touch more, 1/2 stop maybe.

But, like Jeff say, this really works!

HeyLo

I really love the glittery snow in the background. I've been dying to try for that affect since it started snowing here.

Lovely-- maybe a bit more light on her face but still a nice photo as is.

Thank you everyone for the kind words!!

Regarding more light on her face. I debated that however the mood i wanted to portray in my opinion is best done with a darker face.

Cheers!

I love this image! Shows great craft.

Lighter face? Maybe. Love it the way it is. Nice job.

Really great idea for a shot and very pretty model.
For me the tilt should be more to the right..it looks unbalanced to me and the (I know this will naturally happen in this light) white balance it pretty far toward the blue end. If you could get the color right and tilt it back bit this would be a great photo....just my opinion of course.

I like that it is dark by the way it really accentuates the highlight.
