    Fabs, What a sweet face . I love the soft colored BG. Makes her look more innocent.

    Nice comp, fg screen of brush w/snow adds to this one.

    Very nice capture. I'm seeing a blue cast. A levels adjustment will correct it.

    I like the vertical comp on this one and the soft, foggy OOF FG but I find the snow covered branch near the chin a little overpowering in contrast to the detailed darkness of the fur.

    I remember this image well, our very last ones of the trip as the light when over the mountain. Love the OOF FG grasses. Now on Davids repost taking the blue cast out looks fine but having been there and knowing the actual light had a blue cast and you have shown it true to life either version works fine with me. The one bright snow covered weed Steve mentions is a bit of a distraction and can be dealt with but its not a big deal...

    Thank you all for your comments.
    David, thank you for your great repost. I tend to keep the bit of blue on the snow as it reflects more what I saw at the moment, the feeling of cold and very little light in the shade.
