X-skiing (& sun!)

Olympus e620, 14-42 lens@14 mm, ISO 100, f11, 1/200s.

After nearly a week of cloudy days, couldn't resist getting out and enjoying it. I would have preferred the sun in front of me - but this works, I think. Rule of thirds partially ignored. Comments welcomed!

Looks like a great day to get out and enjoy the snow and sunshine. Your perspective is wonderful! Makes me feel like I'm there too.

Like the low perspective with the tips showing.

Agree. I like the perspective. While I don't think the rule of 1/3 needs to be slavishly followed, I actually think you have it, vertically, where the ski tips are. I also think that even though the trail goes right down the middle, the other elements of the photo have it nicely balanced.

Nice perspective indeed; good use of leading lines and the inclusion of the skis helps place the viewer right into the scene.
