Hi all,
Thanks so much for the feedback. This image was modified from the original in Photoshop. More snow was cloned in and I used Alien Skin's Eye Candy Impact (snow drift) and Nik Color Efex (fog and slight Glamour Glow, plus the High Key filter) to achieve this effect.

Also, in case anyone is curious, the mother bear was skittish and smelled another female in the area. Normally that isn't something that is overly concerning to a mother bear (males are concerning), but this one was alarmed and after a few minutes, reared up and smelled the air. She then called her cubs to her and they all took off running.
