The slopes are my street

OK, technically not a street shot since I wasn't on the street, but it seemed appropriate enough for this forum. To the upcoming snowy season, here's one from my local ski slope last year. . .

Crow, The fact that you weren't on the street has nothing to do with whether or not it's street photography. The fact that it's just a picture of two people, one of them drinking out of a plastic glass has everything to do with it. There's no story there. Yes, the snow is falling, but that's hardly a story that turns this into street photography. Technicallyi it's quite good, but that doesn't really help.

Gotcha. I think I see what you're saying. I'll give that some thought. . .I think I may have another that's going more the direction you're pointing. Thanks.

I'm not a big fan of the selective color thing as presented. However, I think it's a pretty cool (no pun intended) image of what I'm assuming is dad/daughter, and I'd bet they'd be proud to have that image in their collection of one of those captures before they're all grown up.

I normally don't do selective color, but the background was a bit too busy for my taste, and I wanted a way to mute it. I actually did chat with them both afterwards and sent them a copy of the picture. I'm more of a landscape photographer, and I may be looking at my street photography a little too much in that context where it's all light, color, lines and chaotic symmetry. Important elements in street photography as well, no doubt, but that personal element. . .the "story" is obviously a driving force that I'm still trying to capture. Honestly, some of the photos that the rest of you seem to really like, I just don't get (though others I very much do), but I'm certainly open to different views of photography, and I may just not yet be seeing some of the complexities that I will eventually come to appreciate.
