I have chosen this picture because it has so many synonyms associated with Winter just oozing out of it. Icy, cold, frozen, captivating. The use of a limited palette (only colours used are shades of white, blue, black and pink) emphasise the coldness of the picture, in particular the icy blue of the model's eyes. The frozen-look added to the lips is another amazing touch and, to me, adds an air of mystery to the model and could possibly question her character - is she an ice princess or an evil ice queen?
The stare given to the camera by the model adds a touch of insecurity to the picture, as if the character being portrayed by the model is showing her insecurities through her eyes. Her face is strong, but does show a glimmer of vulnerability.
Overall this is a fantastic Winter portrait that incapsulates my favourite season. Happy Christmas, everyone! <3
