this edit blows out the snow. not a great idea or you'll blind everyone.
I agree, and it looks quite unnatural.

Hello Pierre!
I also really like the last one better, with the expression the the faces and all!
@ Insignia, it's ok to blow out the snow, cause it'S white anyways.... if it'S any other color, than it's not realistic... it's no worse than having a studio portrait and white in the background

Hi Marie, I love the expression on the last one also but thought it would be nice to show how they got to that point lol.

Hello Pierre, hope you're fine, didn't talk with you in a while.
I gotta vouch insignia, i think the pictures are underexposed(the snow looks grey).
Edited version looks fine.
Hi, yeah its been a while, don't be shy, shoot me a PM
The snow looks that color because it was the first snow. Having people walking on it and sliding on just a couple centimeters of snow you can see parts of the ground, this is why it appears dirty. You can tell the difference from the white on her jacket and the snow itself. That plus being cloudy late afternoon makes it appear even darker.

Depends what is your subject.. is it the snow, or the people?
Also snow looks better white and clean!
I know what I'm talking about, I'm Canadian

This snow is far from being white and clean though, you would have to take a shot of a fresh snow before people walk all over it but the snow wasn't the subject here lol
I have never edited a picture yet but I will get a program and start to learn that next year
