100 PORTRAITS IN 100 DAYS - Heidi, 33/100, © Carol Nelson Fine Art

Day 33

Yea! I'm about 1/3 of the way through my project. Thanks to all who are participating!

This beautiful young lady's photo was sent in my her Mom, who lives in Berwyn, Alberta, Canada. I had to look up Berwyn. It's north of Calgary and north of Edmonton - waaaaayyyyy up in northern Alberta. Population a little over 500 so I bet everyone in town will see this portrait. I know from growing up in Duluth, MN, how it feels to be outside in -20 below temps - you HAVE to cover as much exposed skin as possible. Every breath is a cloud of vapor.

The challenge of this photo was to portray that frost on Heidi's hat, scarf and eyelashes. As a matter of fact, I was concentrating so much on that aspect, that I really didn't notice that I didn't match that scarf color very well.
