The image shows three skiers silhouetted against the sky. The horizon is low in the image. The skiers are carrying poles and appear slightly hunched as they ski on a snowy surface. The image is black and white and captures contrasting tones. The sky has swirling clouds that add depth. The skiers' silhouettes are well-defined against the cloud patterns.
