HAPPY NEY YEAR

I'm sure you are already getting beat up on this pretty badly, but I still feel obliged to give the courtesy an explanation for my own low vote, so here goes:

-Harsh onboard flash is not flattering to the subject. It rarely is.
-Top of her head is lopped off by the frame
-Very grainy, high ISO shot.

Such indoor low light conditions are usually tough to work with. Using a tripod, lower ISO and lower shutter speed could possibly allow you to get a more pleasing shot with the ambient light. If you have a camera with a hotshoe, getting an external flash that you can rotate to bounce off the ceiling is also a good option.

Sorry to have to be so hard on this entry.

a jolly snapshot; surely a delightful inclusion in a scrapbook - but not something that i see as having any broad appeal

Comment by Covert_Oddity:
Great effect, love the way the road fades off almost but not quite into the fog just as it reaches the corner. Great colours too.

Comment by bassbone:
as much a metaphor for winter as a photo of winter approaching. we can see fall being overwhelmed by the approaching frost - nicely seen!

What an unusual winter scene... the white frost on the trees, the fog, the vivid reds and blues of the foreground and sky.
Very nice choice of viewpoint and composition, and very good post processing. I do detect a small amount of haloing on the foreground tree branches against the sky, perhaps dial back sharpening just a tad.
