Disappearing tracks, and the blades that made them.
Today, yes it's still snowing and we're skiing in the 'white room "Alyeska" Wednesday got 5", last night about 5" and today about 2" while skiing
Had just a couple of breaks of seeing the top ridge, mostly skiing by feel..

The Upper Bowl and South Face have always been 'interesting' when the light goes flat, and with Alyeska's snowfall that is fairly often. November through early February has issues with lack of sun exposure due to the low angel of the sun too. Look at Max's Mountain across the Bowl and it is easy to see where that issue comes from.
Lot of good memories from that hill.
B. I like the full shadow
From earlier today, on Devisadero Loop. I did three laps, and called it good.
C. I'd like a more zoomed out crop that doesn't cut off the subject or the shadowB. I like the full shadow
I would just a trim a little off the bottom, to center the subject/shadow combo.
All this is making me feel a lot like I'm back on Nature Photographers, where they do a LOT of this (really much of the forum content is photo critique). I used to moderate some of the forums there too - mainly the digital equipment forum. But it's been several years since I've been a regular participant there. Check it out if you're interested:

I didn't actually crop this one. I just found one that had the Shadow and the flower totally within the frame. It was a quick response to Lauren desiring an image with neither the power or shadow cut off.I would just a trim a little off the bottom, to center the subject/shadow combo.

I do appreciate your comment, though.

I like this photo. The lone seed still clinging to flower that has long since senesced plays to the cycle of life, and that life will arise again from this plant's offspring. The shot angle shows an up movement of the dried flower and it's shadow, which plays to the thought that life will arise again once the warm spring sun melts the snow. The shadows of the branches above the flower nods to yet more life above, sleeping now but will bloom again in due time.
Mt Hood Meadows today. You can see some steam on the upper-left of Mt Hood (from the volcano).
Springy-Stormy day at Snowbird, UT, 17 April 2024.
