neat, but it's not overly interesting to me.

technically good, but there is some grain in the photo. Is this the look you were going for or to much sharpening? I think probably this is what you are going for because the locomotive is an oldy type one. 7

Comment by christinamtodd:
Although this photo depicts action it feels somewhat static to me because of the front and center positioning of the subject and the angle for which the shot was taken. The movement of the skier could have been improved by capturing him either farther out in the frame or by cropping.

If you had crouched a little lower you might have been able to get more height to the spray from his turn.

Additionally, I think this photo would be more interesting if the primary subject were in the top 2/3 of the photo. There's a bit too much sky and empty space in the photo which I find distracting.

All the best,

I wonder if the grain was intentional. I like the composition, but I sure wish it was in colour!

If your subject had been on the right of the frame with a little more of a hint of what was holding him up on the left the shot would have a lot more of a dynamic feel.
