Wonderful concept, your eyes are immediately attracted from the white snow to the beautiful pink Spring blossom. And the extra little green leafs blending in the snowy part is a nice touch as well.

Thanks for entering the contest! I like how you laid the snow out on the ground, but maybe it should look more gradual? I like your take on the contest. Good luck!

Thank you
That's a good hint. Maybe I'll find some time to change it before the Contest is finished.

I think you did a great job with the concept and the realisation !
If you want some advice, I would just suggest working on her sitting on the rock, there is something off with the leaves, maybe add some shadows on the rock?
Good luck in the challenge !

Thank you
There are shadows but maybe they are too pale. It's quite difficult because of the moss. When I made the shadows darker it looked too much somehow.
But it's a really good hint and I think I should try to solve this Problem.

You were right, I think it's better now
I will try to do some practice on shadows though.

Interesting concept. I wish there was a little more to the over all design, but that's okay. I still like it.

Thank you for your comment
I just started photomanipulation in January and I'm still somehow at the very beginning of it all. So every comment and hint is very much appreciated
