not having the person centered in the middle of the shot would have helped draw people's eyes to other parts of the picture.

I like seeing the mountains and chair lifts in the background, but I'd like to be closer to the snowboarder. Cropping would help this photo.

You Got the action ..
But where is the Motion ...

I am one of those that thinks to show speed, it needs some blur, so panning with the boarder and a slower shutter, would have made it a lot better. 6

this image would be more effective if bg was blurred or the snowboarder was whizzing by.

A-Basin delight?

nice! good composition.

Nice shot (and I'm snowboard biased here anyway!) but not enough 'sensation' or 'speed' in the shot.

This could have been good, but the shutter speed has frozen the motion, making it look like he's standing still.

this is a nice shot but unfortunately he appears to be standing still, quite a lean but still too still

Best time to ski or board....just not with your best equipment. Nice sun! I like your shot but I don't really see 'speed' when I look at this.

too far away, too centered

Nice shot but it lacks a feeling of speed since the snowboarder appears frozen (pardon the pun)
