Excellent composition and perfect moment of capture, right eye visible.

Thanks. I am very happy with this picture, and how it (at least to me) shows how the girl brought a bit of chaos into the family...and loves all the attention...and how "mom" uses the the others to get herself some time to eat.

One in our group released a wet slide, that could have been bad if it had travelled 30 meters further - if it had, it would have increased in speed and crossed the path of the upcomming skiers. Wet slides are really slow, but they are also really heavy. They typically do not kill you, but break your legs. I had skied first without releasing any snow, but one of the slower skieres traversed the snow more, and sunk deeper (due to slower speed) - he also choose a different path (crossing the snow in the steepest slope)...and this ended up cutting a layer. It passed/hit a lower skier, who luckily was able to stand his ground. We were aware of the risks, and chose a realtively low risk path...but in hindsight should have skied down one of the old avalanche paths. As for photography, I only take photos going up, as taking them on the way down removes my focus from the skiing,E

Thanks. First time using the film - the 14 zone range seems quite rights. Just had to take this when the model appeared...

Great contrast and composition.

The shot was hand held, and I asked her to move, while I tried to keep the camera steady. In order for it to work, I had to find a dark background - an iron gate in front of a dark brown door.

Lovely framing, wow!

I like the mood created here. The imbalance of the ground to the reflection creates an odd quality of depth in the land above compared to the water below. Interesting.

I agree with Robert. Best of the series.

Solid image!
