Here are a handful of shots from the last month or so out here in Colorado. I've love to hear any feedback or comments.

    #3 is overexposed.

    The jump shots, the subject is kind of lost and they are at the bottom 3rd of the frame. They need somewhere to go (should be at the top 3rd).

    1st is dead center.

    You are getting pretty good exposures and WB, but they don't really engage me.

    I totally disagree. If I put the skier in the top 1/3 of the picture, I'd have nothing but boring snow in the bottom 2/3... I purposely put them in the bottom third so I could show was what above them. I understand they kind of got lost, but I set up for one shot and didn't get it, so these were cropped from a larger image.

    I was hoping they would both hit the whole thing from the top (all three stages), but not that day.

    I think they are well composed and well exposed. I agree that the jump shots should show the pillow top drops that the skiier just came from. That is really the point of the shot.

    Favorites would probably be 3 and 4. thumb.gif
