A very dynamic compositon, and I love the character you are able to embue your characters. The strong stance and her direct gaze make us know she is a confident character more so than the sword or the evil head she is holding. The glow is kind of throwing me off a little bit, but I'm hard pressed to describe how. I feel like there should be more darkness in the pic somewhere, but I'm not sure if that would be realistic given the reflecting abilities of snow. Awesome pic though, I would love to be able to draw as well as you do.
