Wow!! Into the faves. First things first. This is just awesome PJ. The use of light and the shadows is superb.
That is some kind of angle you have with this one. The skiers are icing on this delightful cake. Think I'll eat a piece. Just great PJ
Outstanding action shot in every way ~ I can feel the exhilarating experience of skiing down the slope with the snow flying & I'm not even a skier. I love the patterns on the snow. Very well done PJ.
White snow, white plumes, reflecting light, All these elements makes it very difficult to make a proper capture of this scene. To me you've done a wonderful job PJ! Really great.

I love the colours and patterns on the snow,PJ. It doesn't look real!! Some of my nephews and nieces ski and they always curse snowboarders, so I have to warn them before I show them this picture. lol
It's really hard to stop looking at this post, PJ. I find myself re-loading it more than not. It's almost monochromatic, and the stop action with your tele? Nice!
Joe..
Someday I'll pop in ealry enough to crack the top 30 in leaving comments, lol. PJ this is a wonderful shot, the clarity, lighting and composition are all breathtaking!

I've never seen a ski picture like this. The angle, shadows and lighting make it compelling and mysterious. Outstanding posts today my friend. :) + faves
