I really love the way you've combined these two images with one wall fading into the other, and what wonderful subjects! Killer b&w conversion as well.

Perhaps they'd thought it all in good fun, perhaps they simply chose not to notice the look on the face, or to hear the desperation in the pleas to stop, to not throw anymore. Perhaps they just got carried away.

Perhaps, but sometimes the games of winter can turn ugly before you know it, and sometimes one goes away with a tear on the cheek and feeling more than just the pain of stinging ice on their skin.

Sometimes it can be so hard to navigate the landscape that is childhood, especially when that landscape can be cold and unforgiving.

I'm not understanding your title. Really like the photo but could use a different title.

This was one of my favorites of the challenge. the capture and expression are amazing, and I still can't get over how low you placed. This was top three material.
