I've been perusing some of my older photos and came across this one I took last year coming back from an ice climbing trip...I'm not sure if I posted it on here, so if I did, sorry. The original and larger versions can be seen by clicking on the following link.Merry Christmas everyone.

Ken,

Thanks for commenting!

Paul,

I wish those lines were from me. I had just stopped at the pulloff on top of Monarch Pass and saw a bunch of backcountry skiers finding some nice lines in the fresh powder.

I really like this as well. I'd maybe consider cropping a bit on the right side to get rid of the tracks in the lower right (or at least cloning those out).

Great shot, Justin. I like the B&W treatment. This would make a perfect Christmas card.

Guy and Rene,

Thanks for commenting...I don't like to clone anything out of pictures, but I will definitely think about cropping. Thanks for the suggestion!

Great image! The BW really makes a powerful image. Love the tracks in the center of the image as well.
