Is that a long exposure, or is the river frozen?

I took this with an ISO of 80. I have absolutely no idea how my camera picked the snowflakes up.
Also, it isn't me in the pic, it is my bro, who didn't know I was even going to take one. I managed to get him in a good position though.

I use a Sony DSC-W X 350. I don't have the money for a DSLR, but this works great for me. It's 18.2 MP, and has 20 x optical zoom. It can shoot 4k also.
I think the effects I used were B&W, a little fade, and some edge blur (to focus the eyes on the subject).
The big blur in the upper left corner is a tree.

Nice, how did you get that weird sky look? Was it an after effect, or just the way the sky looked?

Yes, its a little bit of Photoshop.
BTW, I know at least 2 authentic ancient Egyptian Sphynxes in Saint Petersburg. This is not authentic

Every time I see a blurb from this thread my brain replaces "great photography" with "great pornography".
Every.
Freaking.
