Neat-Imaged a bit much (or whatever application you use that is like Neat-Image). I think this detracts from the picture, but I guess exposure must have been difficult with the snow and the movement.
Beautiful fun looking shot BUT I would have preferred their faces to be in focus, looks like the focus is on the scarf. Unless you selectively blurred their faces...still it would have been better with the faces in focus/unblurred.
You had a cute idea and you nearly pulled it off. If only our models were willing to keep on doing the same thing over and over again until we get the PERFECT shot.
