This is the first of three portraits I shot of Rhowan and Harmony while they played in the snow on Sunday. All three ended up as high-key portraits, and all were relatively straightforward to post-process (if you're interested in the details you might want to take a look at my Portraits: part two tutorial as it covers quite a few of the techniques I used for this image).
This one, and the third I'll post, are portraits of Harmony, while the next one is a shot of Rho, and while I'm undecided about which is the weakest of the three, the second portrait of Harmony is definitely my favourite.

As always you produce some amazing portraits, all that pink against that white backdrop gives this image so much punch... Fantastic work.

Wonderful David! Love the detail you maintained while getting the soft dreamy look. Now if it would just snow a bit again here. Hard to do high key outside with no snow... only lots of rain....

Beautiful photograph of Rhowan. I smiled as soon as I your photograph.
I like the pink outfit set against the white snow. And, of course, her blue eye are wonderfully captured.
I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous, and Safe New Year!

Thanks everyone :)
Kevin: this is Harmony, not Rhowan :)
