| 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. |

| Looks like that skier is smart enough to stay out of the trees! Well done Robert, I was ahead of you before roll over and then I lost 3/10 of a point as the votes got scrubbed putting you ahead by that little bit. Congrats on a very well done shot. |

| What an amazing capture. I could look at this for hours and find something new within the snow, trees, or the long cast shadows. You seem to capture this in perfect timing with the skier and the sun. This is a wall hanger! Great photograph. |
