snow flying and nostrils flaring

Italian translation: tra turbini di neve e fremiti di nari

English to Italian translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts) / Cavalli e neve
English term or phrase: snow flying and nostrils flaring
Si tratta di fotografie prese a un evento ippico sulla neve/giaccio

These race start shots are nice. This one has a better framing, because it's straighter, but this one has more emotion, energy and power....the snow flying and the nostrils flaring...

Sarebbe bello mantenere il ritmo flying - flaring ma ho problemi di spazio trattandosi di uno script e pochissimo tempo.

Aiuto!!!!!

neutral  Leonardo Marcello Pignataro (X): Attenzione, Luciano, l'uso del gerundio credo qui non vada bene, perché l'azione implicita non si riferisce al soggetto della principale. Forse sarebbe meglio "mentre" le forme dell'indicativo o con una relativa avverbiale "con la neve che..."
