Nice photo. Well balanced. It's very clean yet very interesting. Only negative, for me is the other trail in the top right corner... needed to have more of them is you wanted the mirroring of the main subject type pattern too... if that wasn't something you wanted, you may have tried to crop out more of them.

Oddly, enough, when I first saw the challenge name, I thought of something like this. I think this could be crisper and sharper colorwise.

AH, I would love to be where this was taken. Excellent composition, texture in the snow, and detail. Too bad there wasn't someone skiing with this person making figure 8's. Fun capture.

Great shot. The eye really travels in this shot. I would clone out the tracks in the upper right of the photo. They take away from the main tracks.
