I tried to capture a harsh feeling in this photo. I waited for particularly strong gusts to kick up the snow and shot directly into the sun to generate flare. Someone with experience being out in windy -30 C weather and blinding winter sun should be able to 'feel' this shot. The photo initially might appear to have noise, but it's actually backlit snowflakes covering the entire scene.
Does it work?!
B&W conversion in Silver Efex.

Reason: Noticed dust spots, that I had thought was flare, edited them out.
