well captured and stopped in what looks pretty poor lighting conditions - good external flash would have helped to light and colour the subject making it stand out darkening the backdrop and giving u a faster shutter speed - allowing you to get even closer to the subject - just my thoughts - additional equipment is not always at your disposal.

I like your viewing angle. Very interesting subject. As constructive criticism, you may have tried to overexpose the scene a little more. As you may already know, when shooting in a bright scene, such as snow or very bright sunlight, the camera will tend to meter for a short exposure or small (numerically large) aperture as it tries to average the scene to neutral grey. You then have to overexpose the shot to compensate for this if your subject is a darker object in the scene. I think this probably would have been a fabulous photo if the exposure would have been "nailed". Again, please take this in the spirit it is intended as I have no desire to "tell you something you already know". Nice work.

Big air, as they say. Tricky subject with the limited light.

Maybe if you had more of the snowboarder and less of the surroundings I might like it better.

I like the fogginess, it makes it stand out from other snowboard pictures i've seen.

The picture is too grey for me. That, and there are what looks like compression artifacts here.
