Winter In Gongaga

I've been trying lately to understand lighting a bit better and how it bounces off places and looking for methods to apply that in photoshop. This probably not the best example of that understanding because i was going for something more 'simple' light looking. xD Actually my friend who was so kind enough to give me some tips on what to do with this image (THANK YOU <3) and i were talking the other day and they live somewhere where it's extremely cold. Aside from the place in the north, i wonder what the winter months are like all around FF7s world. So what if it snows in Gongaga? I could see Zack walking around without a care about the temperatures (like someone else i know ). After all, he was a soldier who probably had seen some crazy stuff anyway. ^_^
