Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

More snow stuff
A few more snowsports shots. The snowboarders are doing the half pipe at Perisher. The skier is racing in the Balmain Cup comp at Guthega.
Wow.... how sharp are they! Cracking action shots and perfectly exposed...
*insert really jealous smiley here*  The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list...
Excellent shots!! U can feel the adrenalin in these!

Special Moments Photography Nikon D700, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4, 70-200 2.8VR, SB800 & some simple studio stuff.
As already said - these are superb action shots. More importantly they are very well exposed - well lit subject without blowing the white of the snow.

Thanks all for the comments.
Do you mean "are they cropped?" or "what was the sensor size?". They were all shot on D70 with 70 - 200 VR 2.8. All cropped a tad (well the skier is cropped a couple of tads) apart from the third shot which is uncropped. Heap of fun taking the shots. As the snow season comps draw to a close I'll have to find some other sport to practise on. I usually do the horses but could be a while before competitions get started again with the horse flu and all
Hi Simon - I think what these show most of all is the huge difference an uncluttered background can make with action shots!
The 1st, 3rd and 4th shots here are great, with the pick of them (for me) being the 3rd. The 2nd, although as well exposed, timed and frozen (pun intended) in time as the others, lacks the power of the others due to the background - it just doesn't pop out at you. That said, these images are all good, and you'd have to be happy. I can't get used to seeing trees in the snow fields though *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
