Not sure if this is my best for the year....but I like it enough to place it near the top of the heap. I was juggling about 8 images that I just really liked. Ended up picking this one basically out of chance.

Interesting photo. The blue cast is perfect for this, and the blown background adds to the mystery.

This is totally stunning! I hope you used powder or something to achieve that icy look, LOL. 10 from me!

Magical lighting. Beautiful, evocative image - is she asleep. Is she dead...

this is a really cool shot. very cold feel, the colors work perfectly and the "frost" ads a very nice touch.

I like this but feel the flour (?) is a little heavy handed and 'clumpy'. Nice cold blue colour cast gives the image that chill factor.

nice yet disturbing :)

Fascinating!

Winter's chill doth sing me to sleep.
The Frost Queen no longer has cause to weep.
Her snowflake quilt enfolds me with a gentile sweep,
for I am the child she has chosen to keep.

The blue-white tones really help invoke the cold chill of the scene. The girl looks peaceful as if she is sleeping in the comfort of her bed...dreaming. Perhaps...perhaps that is because she is the chosen child of the barren Winter Queen.

Do i give this a 9 or a 10?
My first impression was wow that's cool (no pun intended)
I think the girls lips being a warm pink seems wrong given the fact that she would be chilled to the bone.
hope this does well.

Frozen in time. Nice image.

Reminiscent of the Snow White fairy tale.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/11/2012 01:52:29 PM
Awesome! With a little less red saturation it would be perfect
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/11/2012 07:11:24 AM
Hopefully that is baby powder and not a frozen child! Haha, looks like a fun shoot and very nicely colored.

reminds me of a fairy tale

Will win all hearts!
It reminded me in a roundabout way of the Japanese movie "The Woman in the Dunes" although this is more like "Sleeping Beauty".
Beautiful pink accents.

Wow! This is a compelling image. It's the pastels in lips, skin and ear which make this work. Should be a top 10 image. 10
