I love the way you have produced the juxtaposition of warm and cold. While Amanda's clothing clearly indicates cold temperatures, the intense colors create a sense of heat.

There was strong sunlight, but it was reduced by the building and therefore not shining directly upon Amanda and the background. I'm guessing that means you had lots of good ambient light?
