Nice action shot, using “tilt” for impact – may require WB correction – but it also could be my monitor.

Now this is what I was looking for in this challenge. The tilting really adds to the image by creating a steeper than life perspective.

Nice use of tilt to convey motion and speed in this shot!

This is a great shot. The composition is very nice and the contrast between the sky and the snow.

All it needs is some snow splash to give a little more flavor of speed and action. Nicely done, though.

Good shot would of been cooler if he was spraying up some snow

i'm seeing a lot of sports images, and i feel that they're more of snapshots than artistic photographs.

One of my top picks for this challenge. Nice use of tilt to add some drama to this (I think). Hard to tell if this was composed at an angle or if the hill naturally runs this way. Either way it's a wonderful action photo! Good luck in the challenge.

8 - Nice use of 'tilt'.

I would have like to see this set-up with the snow on the straight horizontal. There is nothing new about someone skiing downhill, but skking flat with the flags being all wonky...now that's tilted.
03/05/2008 02:52:07 PM
Very cool!

Good job on the low to grownd effect, realy makes this shot look like there speeding down the hill.
