It's mostly three things at once that emotionally work for me. As other have noted the serene expression, and the Vermeer like diffused lighting of the face. In addition, the color's evoke for me a contrast between the grays of the background and scarf and the colors of her face, the life peering out from the gray. This contrast is emphasized by the use of the gray scarf; otherwise the models red hair might interfere with that contrast. A masterful and emotional use of color and light.
Did you have to crop any? Maybe the riders could have been a little higher with a tad more snow showing under them. Still, a outstanding, striking photograph! (9/9)
