This is an excellent photo. It's amazing to see what a difference the border makes - it has so much more impact now. I have to say that I also love the artwork on the board - kind of adds a little fun to the photo. Congrats on the top 5!

Congrats on 5th place. Personally I feel you were robbed of a ribbon. This image was the best of the challenge. It was not crowded by too many frames. It was not too dark or over exposed. It had eye catching appeal with the "coming at you" effect. This is a BLUE ribbon winner in my eyes.

hey benjamin .. i've just read your comments on this image and i reckon the chair, the lift and the other ppl give the snowboarder an great environment .. often with this sort'v photography there can be elements that dont totally work but its real life and not a setup which adds to its appeal .. perfect number of frames IMO & that border is a master stroke .. i'd say it lifted your score quite a lot ...
i had a look thru this challenge but didnt vote .. i had an image that caused a lot of controversy because the sc said i'd get a dq if i entered it .. they made assumptions about the image that were incorrect and even after further info they didnt retract their opinion .. i could have still entered it but didnt want to risk the dq .. its such a fine line as to wot will be accepted and wot wont with this new time lapse rule .. they said non-linear wasnt time lapse !! .. anyway i'm not saying anything negative about the sc .. they do the best job and a very difficult one i reckon in situations like my image ..
anyway .. like i was saying !!!
i had a look thru this challenge in voting and this one of yours just jumped right out at me !!! ... literally ..
so congratulations on your new pb and a brilliant addition to your portfolio .. it looks just fantastic on your profile page .. :)

Congrats on the HM. You mentioned the chair but I would have thought making the subject appear to be popping out of the frame would be risky. Might have to try that kind of border.
