Whoa, lots of talk about this photo so far. Nice work.
Some interesting feed back.
This is a totally unedited photo, apart from size of course.
Ive been riding for 16 years all over the would and this i the first season I have started taking photos. Splashed out on good camera gear cause I’m stoked on takin shots.
I realise I need to learn so much more but im keen to put in the time.
Hold tight people, there is more to come.
Chrs.

Trev Ponting Shredding pow at Mt Hutt NZ late june this year 24/06/2012. Epic start to the season.
Getting the ball rolling for this seasons photo comp.
oh man, I know I shouldn’t comment but dude you could have won the contest with that shot.
1. get your horizon straight, you’re making it look less steep than it is!
2. get those two bars out of your shot. it would look better as a pure backcountry shot. Don’t make it look like you’re standing by a lift pole.
3. take a couple of steps closer to get rid of those other tracks in the shot.This, plus:
4. Effective cropping is a valuable asset.
5. That fugly watermark is NOT.I totally agree with Gamblor on this. It’s a cracker shot in an amazing location, only let down by some easily fixed adjustments before snapping. You could PS it to remove the faults but it’s far easier to compose correctly on-site.
Still though, an awesome 1st entry. I would love to see an image from the same location after a fresh snow fall and with a sunrise/sunset glow…..Bang! There’s your cover shot.
nice new shot, but make it bigger
