Snowball Fights

One of the biggest challenges of photography is to break the cliché of taking the same, overused photograph themes and subjects as everyone else, avoiding the "it's been done before" reaction of the photograph's viewers, and creating something original that truly makes an impression upon people.
This picture is the epitome of that. When looking at this, it is easy to see that it came into existence through your own spark of creativity. The shot in itself is wonderful, the blue background working nicely with the only other two colours within the piece, tying it all together, and the subject of the photo, "Snowball", is exceptional. The pose captured creates movement (not to mention the pose and serious expression is rather hilarious) which nicely contrasts with the stillness of the hand. The sharpness of all the images in general is just the cherry on top.
This is an excellent piece, not only aesthetically pleasing, but humorous as well.
