What an expression on the first one! Nice capture.
How clear is the orginal? I wouldn't mind getting closer to the girl.
The second is a nice cause and effect sequence.
I want to take some of the same pictures sometimes it just always seems to be snowing and I don't want to hurt my camera with the wetness.
You are brave and it has paid off.

I don't understand. It looks the same as the web sized photo, only larger

How close would you want to be? It seems a bit tight to me as you can barely see the ski's. That was actually one of the challenges. If I framed (or cropped) tight so I could see the faces well, then I miss the context of the photo, which is them skiiing.



I did get some close ups, and I cropped others.

I also pulled back on some to help tell the story of skiing.

A little moisture is not going to kill your camera.
