Here's an image that looks like a very simple image to make. The reality is this image is anything but simple to make. White balance in the conditions encountered is something that is very difficult to nail. Likewise exposure. I think that both of these elements are just perfect. Composition in this image is just wonderful. Look at the leading lines from the stairway, showing where the subject has been, and where she will be going. And the joy on her face ... it may be cold, but there's a very nice story in this photo.  Congratulations, Zafra52. Original thread is hereg.

Great image, but I have to say that the frame really detracts. Frames should be dead simple, no shadows, no 3d, and generally no colour.
