There are few things in life that I enjoy as much as photography. Mountaineering, however, is one of them. :) It is REALLY hard to find cold conditions in Southern California in July... ;) Shot against a white backdrop in my room, strobe shot through white brolly. Sprayed my face with "orange peel texture" compound from a home improvement store. Put on my Goretex shell, beanie, and snow goggles. About the best I could do this time of year for cold. :D

Very original. Brave use of negative space. Love the blue eyes matching the jacket. Like it!

Nice detail. Wish there was a little less shock in his expression and more forst on his jacket to match his face.

Great expression and color contrast with the blue and white on the man. The negative space works on one level but is a boring white on another level. Frame adds little.

It's hard to 'makeup' cold, but you've done it.
