Hoping for Snow by Vincent Llora

Taken with a Pentax K-x and 18-55mm lens. One speedlite in an umbrella softbox was used to light the subject, from high camera right. Another speedlite was used in the background to shine onto glassware to create bokeh. The dreamy look in her eyes draws you in and just makes you stare at her for a moment longer.
