I feel that this may require some more contrast to really bring it out.

The image is way too busy with no distinct point for the eye to be drawn to. She isn't very visible amongst all the clutter.

Revisiting and explaining my lower scores - I hope to be helpful, not insulting.

I only rated this a 4 because the photo feels cluttered, with no clear subject or purpose. The sky is somewhat overexposed, yet the snow is still somewhat dingy. Kind of tough to beat, but I think AA would have given us a slightly different look.

Best of luck!

It's a beautiful, rugged place. I love the way the snow cover accentuates the rugged edges. It looks to me as if the photo is a little low in contrast for the challenge - it would be lovely to see some really punch blacks in some part of the photo. And while it is growing more and more the standard thing to add people to outdoor scenes to 'add interest' I find the person really distracting.

Most of the picture aeria seems to be in the shadow. This would have to be shot from the other side or at another time of the day. Subject and compostion alright though.
