Very nice. I like it all: colors, comp, sharpness. The snow has a pink tint to it, so I would suggest removing the color cast on that. Congrats. :toast:

I'm looking at the photo on a perfectly calibrated 23 inch brand new ASUS LED monitor and I do not see even a hint of pink. Are you looking at it on a laptop?
