so soft and delicate .. its a stunning image .. everything about this works ..
beautiful placement of the starburst .. and i'm loving the added lens flare .. or whatever its called .. which looks like bokeh in the sky ..
ribbon for sure ..

if i showed this to any of my family members they would be blown away ..
i'm including myself in that lineup ..
this is a total WOW ... and an incredible image ..
and look at those starbursts dotted around like wonderful electric flowers ..
it doesnt get much better than this .. considering the minimal edit ruleset ..
ribbon for sure .. :)

many congratulations on winning this challenge .. especially as she is no longer with you ...
its a beautiful portrait .. not only of snowy but the beautiful background that sets her off so well ..

i'm really sorry for called her 'it' in my comment during voting .. i was 99.999% sure it was snowy .. and about 95% sure that she was a she .. i should have gone with my gut ... as calling any creature an it goes against the grain .. especially a beloved one ...
a lesson for next time .. go with my gut ..

anyway .. i'm very happy she got this blue ribbon ... a few years ago my little katee won a challenge and not that long after passed away .. it was a wonderful surprise that she won .. and wonderful to get the blue especially because she is no longer with me ..
so i see a parallel with your snowy and my katee .. not exact .. but similar ..
i'm sorry you still miss her so much .. means she was very loved .. :)

its a wonderful portrait and a wonderful memory .. loving the bokeh ..

i'm not a big fan of shots in zoos which this might be . but i'd be voting the same if it was in a zoo or in the wild ... mainly because its an AWESOME shot and i'm loving your black and white edit .. great crop too .. :)
