Ski jump competition in Iron Mountain, MI. I was lucky enough to find a good perch to shoot at just about the distance the jumpers were making. This shot (out of approx 150) was the best: light was perfect, sky was cloud free, and the yellow of the suit stands out nicely (imho).

Fantastic capture!

Only comment is the light areas of his suit seem to border on blown out. It may be due to sharpening a bit to much.

Colors and sky are great!

What a wonderful action shot... and to be close enough to get the detail on his eyes and face is very fun. I like the colours contrast as well .. I have to start going to more events like this. ;)

Wow! Great shot! Wonderful colors, good focus and clarity. Again, I notice the oversharpening halo. Perhps the sharpening might be something to reconsider in your work flow? You have some great shots, and I don't think they need that extra sharpening really.

Whoa...this is a terrific action shot!! The dynamic color, sense of motion, perspective, and clarity work well together. I think this would do extremely well in an action or sports challenge! The only thing I would change would be to have it going vertical rather than horizontal, to really speak to the heighth of the jump. But that's minor. This is great!! :)
