I don't know how many tries this took you...but this looks effortless!
OMG! I can't even tell you how I gasped when I saw this.
It is perfection! The background snow...so subtle, yet there.
The long lean lines of Meghan and her movement...the gesture, the angle.
The thin lines you pulled off so perfectly throughout....her skis, the poles....and the best part?
The perfectly PERFECT shadows!
Wow.
All that you have been working toward, you have achieved here.
Way to go, my friend!
Masterful.
And they look magnificent all together.
