Spent the day at Winter Park Resort with one of my best friends and her dog, taking photos, drinking hot chocolate spiked with peppermint schnapps and irish creme, and watching Melbourne romp in the snow.
Other than a pass through Neat Image for some sky noise, there was very little processing on this, I think just a saturation boost and some light USM. Oh, and the text and border were added in, of course.

Hey! Here's a winner. Very clever idea with the colored text. Works great with this very colorful subject you've chosen. Great job! I'd wish you luck in the challenge, but somehow don't think you're going to need it. :D
I enjoy the way you combine the color from the photo and the color and the text - makes a wonderful vivid image against the blue - makes me long to go skiing.
Yeah! Skiing! I wish there was enough snow in Idaho and Montana to ski yet...sigh.....I love the bright colors. It kind of gets me pumped up. It's very intense! And so is skiing! Dang I'm jealous of you...The image is also very well balance with the diagonal of the tops of the skis vs. the text. The size of the text is also very nice. Not to big to make the image cluttere, but big enough so it gets attention.
