For some reason I really liked the trails here left in the snow by countless skiers....I love the Alps and skiing so this is a wonderfully joyful photo for me. I know there are no people in the photo but don't worry..... I'm smiling a delighted smile just behind the camera!
. HOT TIP FOR ALL AM3 CONTRIBUTORS : I've been having problems for ages with my uploaded landscape orientated images looking fuzzy and not as sharp as they should be....well I finally found the answer recently in an answer by Jason Kravitz to a query in the forums .....if you too have been having this problem the answer is to make sure you resize your photos to a maximum horizontal dimension of 800 pixels (vertical size is not limited). Anything greater than 800pixels and AM3 will automatically resize it leading to the reduction in sharpness.
Please feel free to copy and paste this advice into your own AM3 blogs as I'm sure there are lots of our fellow AM3ers out there having this same frustrating problem...it would be great to sort the problem out for as many of us as possible.

This is fantastic. Like the snow with its trails against the dark blue sky.

Way cool, Ian!!! All that white that isn't blown out and the cabin at the top of the frame is perfect. Excellent!!

@Momo: Thanks very much Morris...what a really nice thing to say....my long term ambition is to get one or two photos published. I still get very frustrated from time to time when i feel that I'm not improving but these things come in 'fits and starts' with me, the occasional sudden jump is followed by long periods when I fel that I'm not going anywhere....do you get that too?
