Beautiful portrait. I love the colors. I'm not sure what story it tells but I like the shot and it shows her as a unique person. 8

Excellent story. I wish we could see their faces to make it a litle more personal.

Excellent story telling shot. I wish there man in front was making eye contact with the camera so we could think of it as his story. Right now it's "a" story with the subject being the scene rather than a person. Still a great shot. 8

Neat portrait. I like the inclusion of her hand for balance. It's harsh light but the positioning of her face to the light makes it work well.

Beautiful light on her face. Love the blurred snowy background. Nicely tells something about her.

Wonderful image and great story behind it. Sorry to see it was DQ'ed, but as you said, it's more about the image and what it means to you than where it placed... and... you know it placed 3rd except for a silly technicality. Seems like we (DPC) may need to revisit some of the rules to continue to encourage the best photographic practices rather than encouraging a less-than-best-practice for the sake of the rules.

Wonderful colors and composition. Thanks for creating it and sharing!

Hmmm... not sure what to look at here. The focus seems to be on the chairs and table although I'm more curious about the dog.
