There is an outdoor rink in downtown Saskatoon, I wandered by today to see what was going on. Appreciate any C&C on the composition and the conversions, both are fairly aggressive crops.
I really wish I had a discreet longer lens, I felt a bit odd, but a wider lens and staying farther away seemed less obnoxious.

In #2, most of the people are facing/moving out of the frame. Don't know whether you have enough pixels to crop #1 even more, but I think getting rid of the guy in black on the right would emphasize the connections between the women and their children and the one child reaching out for the other, which is the strongest element of the shot. Conversion looks pretty decent.
#1 does work better with a tighter crop. I sharpened it a bit and made a slight levels adjustment, but there isn't a whole lot there.
I really should have had my 50 1.4 with me. Would have captured a tighter crop, preserved more detail, and isolated the subjects. Good learning for next time around.
