The sharpening effect isn't working here. To much ps for fill in light. Still this remains one of the best shots in the competition.

A bit oversharpened on the skiiers and ridgeline, but otherwise a great shot. The white is a tad too intense for me. Great composition, really puts things to scale.

This is so majestic! It's the perspective of having the tiny little people in this photo that make it spectacular in my opinion. You get more of a sense of the grandeur. Great winter tones. One of my favorites.

stunning scene, only thing that bothers me is the haloing at the mountain edge

Not sure it's too far off the beaten track if there's at least one photographer and three other skiers! Just kidding. This is good though. Not brilliant but quite good. What I really like about it is the sense of scale the skiers give to it. The sense of three dimensions to the mountains is also quite good. Slight blowing of highlights but I imagine it's damn near impossible to not do it on a mountain of snow. All round, nice and 6/10.

Amazing scenery, well captured. Your tones, especially with snow, are very well handled! Perhaps a bit oversharpened, but a nice image! 8

serious oversharpening hurts this striking image; particularly disturbing is the halo on the right edge of the most vertical crag, and the haloes aroudn the skiers. Beautifully seen.

great color, just horizon shift to level would help
