A ski scene with a mystery - where is the fourth ski pole?

That missing pole crossed my mind too, but the shot is no less diminished by this numeric anomaly and the rhythem of the picture is enhanced by the divisions that these poles make against the snow.

Overall, a good idea for a shot but I wonder if you were trying to put too much into the picture. Individual elements work for me; people against the snow, snow falling, line of trees.

Yet combined, the snowflakes are busy against the grey of the tree line. The people seem confused about which way to go or did they see something in the unremarkable line of trees?

And the horizonal could do with a minor adjustment, as your poor skiers look prone to a downhill rather than a cross country ski.

thank you for all your comments...i think the 4th pole must be in the lady on the left's hand as she points or her body blocks the view? thanks again!

i remember how it was in the old days we would go outside in the grass and lay down next to each other where we'd stay up all night and talk to each other this way we used to go everywhere together doesn't matter if it was poor or fair weather you asked me if i'd cheat i said never i know i messed up but i'm gonna make it better
