| i'm revisiting this picture after having fav'd it a whiles back. I still think to be a tremendous shot despite a few minor technical short-comings. |

Greetings from the Critique Club :)
Overall I think this image is a good one but with some planning and a little editing it could have been better. Let̢۪s start with planning.
I think that what you wanted to show here was the fact that the skier is in the air and Gravity should be pulling him down any minute right? Well with a little more planning you could have really captured him a bit more in the air or maybe shot it from a different angle to really make him stand out and show the height or empty space between him and the ground.
Lighting:
IMO the photo is a bit under exposed. I see that you processed it Photomatix but I'm not really sure why. Reason I say this is Snow is a very white and reflects light very well. Shooting snow is much like shooting the sun, (in some cases). For this one I think it̢۪s possible that you̢۪re camera settings were a little off. I can see why you shot at ISO 100 but to allow a little more light I would have shot at ISO 200 or even higher and slowed the shutter down some.
Another thing you could have done if you didn̢۪t was over expose the photo and actually create an HDR image from the NEF file. Anyway IMO the over all photo should have been a little brighter.
I̢۪m also having a hard time seeing how our camera shot this and the BG was still in focus at F/5.6, I think I would have blurred the BG and try to get rid of some of the other trails. IMO this would have really put more focus on the skier and make me spend more time looking at him instead of everything else in the BG.
If you have any questions or comments feel free to PM me.

| Looks like a very hard action to capture, I think to work with the title a more over the top jump, perhaps just by having rotated this pic would have made a stronger point? Hope I made sense 6 |

| The problem here is that His pants are falling off his butt. This will cause him to crash and then get ice burns on his bottom. I recomend pulling up the pants and then trying the same jump. |

| Great composition. Light seems a little flat with the grey snow - could be the camera underexposing due to all of the white in the pic? |
