 As this New England storm was ending, Adine and I hiked through the hip-deep snow in the woods behind our house out to a field with a swing-set. The snow was level with the swings, but that didn't stop Adine!

Postprocessing: raw-conversion & crop. Sharpened, but that made the background way too promininent, so instead I selected Adine and the snow, then sharpened and increased saturation & contrast (via curves) of the selected region. Resized, reloaded the selection, sharpened again (0.5 radius, 110%), added the border.

Nice composition. I love the kicked up snow and the contrast of the bright red coat.

To me the snow he kicks up expresses joy. Good composition, the slight diagonal angle to the swing works well.
