Winter Beauty

This is my entry to this year's Think Pink VI Contest - Digital Photomanipulation Category.

The contest is hosted by and you can read all about it here:junkbyjen.deviantart.com/journ…

I was inspired by the Snow White fairytale and the Celtic festival of Imbolc. Imbolc, in the Celtic seasonal calendar signalled the beginning of Spring and the first signs of new life. It is the promise of renewal, of hidden potential, of earth awakening and life-force stirring. Here is hope. We welcome the growth of the returning light and witness Life's insatiable appetite for rebirth.
