The branches around the edges of the frame are distracting from the main focus. You may want to either zoom in more with a wider aperture to blur them out and keep the framing, or get rid of them altogether. I do like the blurred snowflakes in the background.

I like it kirb.... Ithink the branches on the right and bottom tend ot frame it a bit keeping the eyes in the shot...The bit of blurred color in the background is nice too....I dread this scene....we've been lucky here in ohio so far but its coming... thanks for the reminder....
