Excellent capture and processing for a First try Jim. Was this shot through Glass? Now all you need is a Good DeNoise program such as Topaz DeNoise A.I. or Topaz Studio 2 which can do practically everything. The background is a bit noisy. Thanks for sharing and Best of Luck in the Contest. It's a Beauty.

Thanks for the comment. It was not through glass but there is a mirror behind the snowmen and sled. The background is a reflection in the mirror and has fallen out of focus due to the distance. I don't think any noise program would fix that condition.This was taken before sunrise because there is an east facing window about three feet to the right of this scene. The actual exposure values were 2.5, 1.6,1,1/2,1/3. All at f/9 ISO 100.
