Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

Excellent selective color, Lorraine. She's trudging toward the light and color of spring. It's a slog but she'll make it fine.

@Michael Skorulski: Precisely, thanks a lot Michael ;)

GJC from Kyoto, Japan

Like how you've done this. Gives hope that you might actually have spring there. Keep at it!

@GJC: Thanks a lot GJC, needless to say I'd welcome Spring with open arms :)

There's that light at the end of the long winter Lorraine. :)
The selective colouring is so glorious, simply a wonderful image.

Scotfot from Kabul, Afghanistan

Excellent image of life in frozen Canada, the weak light makes it interesting... but bare legs in that cold... Camadians must be very hardy folk!

@Scotfot: Thanks Bob, they're not actually bare, she has a layer of cloth that you can't see ;)

I love you angle on this shot; were you lying in the middle of the road to get it? :D
The light of spring is ahead of her . . . and you, my friend.
