My Little "Elsa"

try to capture the colour white.

I know it's not properly a colour, but it is "the color produced by the reflection, transmission or emission of all wavelengths of visible light, without absorption" but it is also "the color most often associated with innocence, perfection, the good, honesty, cleanliness, the beginning, the new, neutrality, lightness..." (wikipedia.org)

So what I'm asking you to do is to try to capture the essence of white.

Restriction: no black&white.

You can use desaturation and every other trick you want, but no B&W.

 

Here is my attempt at capturing the essence of the colour white. Here is "H" in her best dress with a cape out in -22 degrees Celsius and a windchill of below -30. (She was only out for a short time!!!) Little girls have a way of innocence, goodness, honesty, newness, and lightness. Also, there is a cleanliness in snow. In the Disney movie, Frozen, a princess has a very unique and special gift which she tries to hide for several years because of fear. When she runs away, she creates a beautiful ice castle in the middle of a storm. So, when we have had frigid weather this past week or two, "H" went out and stood on the huge pile of snow dumped in the park from clearing the street and sang her heart out, conjuring up castles in her imagination as the wind whipped snow and ice crystals around her.

 

In post, there was a crop, some levels adjustments and after selecting "H", I did a brightness/contrast effect.
