I had no idea shooting like this would be so much fun. I have no idea how this will do. I don't even know how to critique it but I like it, and that will have to do.

I just wanted to take time and explain why I chose to do this shot and why I felt it would be a good posthumous shot. Snow angels remind me of so many things: my own childhood and now I love to watch my own girls make snow angels. My oldest daughter and I had so much fun making this shot, you can't see it but she and I were laughing almost the entire time. I think posthumous shots are about emotion and this one has a lot of emotion to me. I loved that when I flipped the photo it looked like she was flying. Kaylee my snow angel took flight.

The idea behind the Posthumous Ribbon is to encourage you to break the rules, to find new and different ways to express yourself. To free your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come, to laugh at world and at life, not doing what others are expecting you to do, but just following and listening to what's in your heart. DPC it’s a wonderful learning place where everyone should be supported on their way to be a photographer. A special attention should be aimed to those working hard with different views and approaches to photography, those not aligned with the mainstream taste and receiving no recognition. It’s our responsibility to support these photographers creating diversity and expressing different visions. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to do it. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to protect your and the other’s freedom of being different. Thanks for taking the time to enter this challenge. Stay wild.
Great shot. Very clever idea. The only thing I'd change is to introduce more negative space. It's a bit too confined. I like the square crop, as it makes the most of the space allotment, but I'd like your angel to be set back a bit. Not sure why I feel the need to share personal preferences, as you likely don't care, but either way it's a cool shot.
