*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

Congratulations on your high placing for a lovely study.

The feeling of contemplation of your lone subject in this snowbound landscape comes across very strongly which from your title is exactly your intention I presume? I like the high key effect which is broken up by the dark clothing of your model. I like the general simplicity from the foreground stand to the background structures and trees which although fairly complex is reduced to simplicity by the lighting and uniform nature of the sky.

Your exposure is spot on, you have presumably used some +EC in camera or corrected post in PS but you have captured the essence of the snow with your wonderful whites without blowing out the highlights so although you are close to the limit you have detail throughout, well done. I can see what Madman2k means about the post on the right its sort of acting as a full stop, given the nature of the image I want to continue with my imagination beyond this point, I think I agree it would probably help to crop it out.

I'm pleased for you that it was so well received here, well done, Sid

I like the composition and perfectly exposed. Maybe its a dubious prospect with DPC rules but I think it'd be stronger by photoshopping out that post on the far right.
