I like this. I like the way you processed it. I like the way the black trees stand out in the new snow. It does look so peaceful. I imagine the color version is quite nice too.

I rather like this shot. I read the comments and while I can see the points being made, overall this is a gorgeous shot. I think it would have scored better if the processing was toned down just a bit. I also wish I could compare it to the color version.

Melethia summed this image up for me nicely. The processing isnt to my tastes in this image. A lighter, softer possibly colorful version may have done you better.

You said it! This is so stunning and powerful, yet lovely and serene.

Comment by Melethia:
The processing, as you can tell by the comments, is a matter of taste. Some really like it, some not so much. My first impression was it was too much contrast for this scene. The stillness suggests something softer to me. The composition is very strong - I like the split horizon - but again, it's a matter of taste. Some may prefer a more "rule of thirds" comp with respect to the horizon. The basic shot is excellent. I think it would be interesting to see other edits of this shot.

scalvert: nope. looks like multiple skiers.

muckpond: looks like the same skier to me.

ursula: maybe they're all just wearing the same thing.

scalvert: the odds against that are huge.

ursula: maybe they called each other.

scalvert: ugh. guys don't do that.

muckpond: either way, it's not natural!
