Photoshop Help

I have two questions: 1) I have outdoor shots that I want to add a very desolate, grey-blue feel to and, aside from photofilters, are there any good ways to achieve that sort of desperate landscape feel? Its currently of a tree, a woman, snow, and some blue sky.

2) I'm working on a panel piece. But there are some shots, for example, the one described above. It's taken from far away with the woman looking up at the tree, but I'd like to have a close-up of her face as a panel. Is there anyway to make that close up shot not look really out of place in the overall picture? I want the overall to almost frame it, but not as drastically different than that....I don't know if that makes any sense. haha.

Anyway, thanks for any help you can throw my way!

If you're using ACR, you can play with the white balance slider and saturation. Another way is with the split tone feature in ACR (you can google for tutorials on that).
