 snow in redwood city, CA...a rare sight, especially since you can see the snow, sun, mountains, and ocean all at the same time. yup, that's the Pacific under that band of clouds there. My model was my friend Belen who sadly ruined her suede boots in the snow. R.I.P boots.

Thanks for the nice score...I haven't done this well in a challenge in............a while, so I really needed the boost :)

Congrats on an excellent score - love the shooting into the sun part. And so very California - snow and sunshine.

thanks, it happened naturally with f/14. Curves and burning also helped to accentuate it though.

Absolutely lovely. A shame the clouds along the horizon cut across her head, but it's so minor.

would have liked the subject to be "part of the picture" more...rather than such a small part of it...

Almost looks like an illustration. Nice. A little banding visible in the sky, but that's tough to avoid on a shot like this.
