Baja looks like she is waiting for somebody to share the fun!
Interesting composition with nearly half of the frame filled with snow. I really don't know if I would like it better if there were more detail showing in the snow, since it might detract from Baja.

I like this shot of your gal Baja, exposure looks perfect on her and the background. I actually like the snow in the bottom of the frame blown out, gives the photo a sort of postcard look.

Oh she looks ready for some action. Great pose and there's enough light edging to separate Baja from the BG :toast: .................Jim

She's looking very expectant, Albert. You've got a great exposure on her, the trees, and the falling snow. Those two "smudges" in the foreground snow are neat additions as well, since they make it clear how much white snow there is in the foreground. In the larger view with the gray background, this really does have a neat postcard (or Christmas card) look with room over the snow for a greeting.
