Default Snow Princess

I'm really starting to love taking photo's outdoors more than in. The natural lighting just makes photo's so much better.
I took this over the weekend when we got some unexpected snow in Dallas. I edited this in Lightroom 3. Turned to Black and White and adjusted the brightness and contrast. Did I add too much contrast?

Here are the others that I took. Please tell me what you think.

Yeah, a bit too much contrast. You've lost the details/definition in her face. Try scaling back a bit...otherwise it's lovely.

This is very nice! And not even my favorite of your flickr set. Contrast is fine if you're going for the high contrast look, composition is fine, might pull back the exposure on the face just a bit but I like the high brightness look...
