I like what you did, those headlights work well. After all we say photography is all about "painting with light" and you show this well. I think that child is very hardy to be outside in that blizzard with just a t-shirt! Nice movement here and we can really engage with the image. Also,that off centered compositional style suits the "movement" feel. Brrrr, nice!

Have you tried changing this to b/w high contrast? I think you could have a lot of fun with this photograph in filters as well...try the "stamp" filter if you have one, just to give you an abstraction.

Any filter at all. I think this photo would lend itself to some good manipulation, it is a goood shot with minimal colour palette. Just a suggestion for you....to play with during these cold winter months!

Dear Heart,

I am new here so do not enter any contests after speaking with me because I may guide you incorrectly. This is just advice for you to do at home. Take the photo, go into photoshop, go up to "ARTISTIC" filter and choose anyone and monkey with that photo until something comes out that you really like. There is something our teachers in photography used to say "try to bring the photo a touch above normal" try to make it better somehow, not ordinary...it's just about creativity and listening to your artistic angel sitting there on your shoulder. Most importantly have fun.

Sincerely,

Still26

Awesome = )

well done, did you write it like that, or flip the image?

Actually I did about 20 attempts at writing it backwards first, all of which failed. Then I realized I could write it normally and flip the image horizontally. So that's what I did in the end.
