I would have tried for a tighter crop in the lower left quadrant. That is where I see the face. The background cloud seems a little soft, but I also see a face there.

GREAT eye to find these two profiles in the original horizontal image. Might be an improvement to darken the blue sky portion.

Comment by snackwells:
Nice fluffy clouds, but I cannot spot the face, much less something that resembles Santa.

Technically, this shot is somewhat flat. Under advanced editing rules, you could have increased the contrast to give this shot more depth, by adjusting either levels, curves, or bright/contrast. I would suggest doing a hue/saturation adjustment to deepen and saturate the blues. Lastly, there is noticable JPEG artifacting due to aggressive compression and the resulting miniscule 24,000 byte file size.

Wow this is a very good capture! I see the side of Santa's face perfectly! ...Or I'm on a lot of drugs.

hrmm...I think I see a face -- looks like a horse although no matter how hard I look I don't see santa. That being said, there seems to be quite a bit of noise in the furthest cloud and the blue sky and it almost looks like you used some high compression from the way the greys look in both the furthest cloud and the nearest.
