I like that the first shot is yet again a rather high-contrast shot, but it's tough to work with high-contrast landscapes when there is snow involved, because snow is already hard enough to expose without blowing them out in contrast adjustments. Overall though, I think the shot still remains good. If anything, I'd consider cropping some of the sky, because as it is now there is a lot of sky. The second shot is pretty good, but it's tough to have a very good portrait if the face is tough to see as it is in this shot. But, for a candid-type portrait, it's pretty decent. The black and white conversion is pretty good, but the fact that the face isn't really visible really hurts the shot a lot for me.
