Good action displayed in this photograph. The lack of cropping makes the action more intense. The high speed of the boarder is captured because of the non-traditional cropping and framing.

Good shot but as you said --far away and somewhat out of focus. Love the shadow of the skier. Very nice.

A different photograph for sure! Difficult to tell how high the snow boarder is from the land, but I get the impression he is fairly high up. A very simple and uncluttered shot but it works perfectly well. I like the white expanse of snow in the foreground with tracks which means lots of people have been over this ground. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


With the lonely figure over a vast snow, this makes a fine minimalist picture. the shadow adds to the depth. has a semi-abstract quality which I like a lot. Thanks for sharing!

Great camera work and great stop action on the shot. Nice frame, color and light. I might have cropped it a little. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from davealpert


Well executed action shot. Framing is good but I think the exposure is too dark. The snow has a graying rather than a brisk white.

Nice action shot, nice coloring. Difficult one in this sea of white. I like the catch and the angle is almost perfect, at the same level with the subject. However, I would say that here is too much negative space in the lower half, the vague trails and faint blue lines being difficult to see. Also looking at the subject seems either little blurred or maybe is the lack of sharpness.
