Parade of Lights

Comment by Gringo:
This is a pretty good composition with the mountains lit up by the skiers and the landscape included in the burst of fire on the left. I think the shot could improve with a little less brightness overall and maybe a bit of contrast. I like the shot, but it just looks a little washed out to me. I hope that helps some. Good luck in the challenge.

Great stop action. I love the composition and almost high key of the water and sand, yet with the darker figure for emphasis.

Nice! Pretty cool photo. I'm wondering if this would gain more of that "pop out there" factor if you used a gradient. I use a pretty cool method in PS, that goes a little something like this.

Magic wand (tolerance 1),>quick mask mode>gradient (from top to bottom or vice versa)>exit quick mask, for standard view>Adjustments>curves. I don't know if this will be helpful, but its my laim attempt at helping.
