Bravo! So glad this made it into the ribbons. Wonderful composition, the verticals and horizontals so powerful. The tiny lone skier in the immensity of nature. Even in the saddest of moments there is beauty to be seen.

Oh! I rarely look at challenges I haven't entered/voted. So when something good happens I often miss it. This is something good! It's a very fine picture indeed. I'd have given you a big score and a gushing comment, Robert. It's such an unusual, clever photograph, and quite beautiful. Other-worldly, in a quiet way. A great thing to remember this special moment by. Thank you.

This is a really nice shot. Very dramatic. My only qualm is that the clouds may have been overly burned in. A bit overworked. Would have worked really well as a painting!

A stormy challenge, thankfully they are all clearing! This has a very strong three dimensional feel. One of these must be Bear, but I'm not certain this is it. I hope you enjoyed your trip.
