No filters, just my oldschool a75.

And its not a rossignol board, its an OPTION board! Hence my name...

I love the inclusion of the snow board!!! It adds another point of interest, as well as a little splash of color.
I also happen to like the lens flares.
Did you hold a graduated ND filter over the foreground snow?
Nice pic!

The color is absolutely awesome in this photo. The composition while not boring is a bit on the static side. Still, a very nice photo!

Hello from the Critique Club:

First, I love the composition and the subject you choose for this challenge. Your score suffered a bit because the image looks flat. The colors and contrast both need a little more work than what you achieved with levels. From reading your comments on this image, I realize you are not a great fan of advance editing in your post processing work. However, this picture has so much potential and could be improved tremendously with just the basic editing tools of Contrast, Curves, and Saturation. I would be happy to PP this image for you and post it to this critique if you would like.

Tim

Andrew,

Per your PM I gave your image a quick go over. My editing steps (Paint Shop Pro X) were as follows:

1) Curves adjustment per the following thumbnail

2) Levels adjustment: Input 0 ... 1.05 ... 237 Output 0 ... 226
3)Saturation + 20
4)Contrast +5
5)Resize
6)USM Radius 1 - Strength 100 - Clipping 5



Hope this helps - let me know if you have any questions.

Tim
