Action Sports Cartel

The comp is cool, but i think it could benefit from being a bit looser--everything feels cramped and the brightest part of the sky is right on the edge of the photo, with the chairlift half cut off. Would like to see a bit more room for it to breathe, with a similar angle, that shows the whole feature, the whole mountain in the background etc.

The second issue is the timing is way off--guessing he's planting over the hitching post, and if so, timing should be when he's totally inverted. This is late.

Nice job with the lighting.

If the trick was more solid this photo would be 100x better. The lighting and comp is spot on.

Up in the Avoriaz park after hours tonight. Got a couple of good pics, but this is one in particular that I liked.

Small jib, snow clump on board.

What do you guys think?

I think your crit is spot on, but the only thing I would like to add is that I have no clue what is really going on. It either looks like a really shitty handplant, or a tap gone wrong.

I think for this to work the trick has to be very obvious and stylish as fuck. I really dig the lighting and the plaid pops as well.

Cheers,

oh ya I also like the composition, I like the vertical center line and having the main subject on the left and idea of location on the right.

you have two cool pictures in this, the action shot of the boarder and the purty sunset. the problem is they're fighting with each other for attention, especially with the post dividing the picture right down the center, I think the composition should focus on one or the other.
