I felt the image was a bit soft - nice compostion though.

very abstract and I usually like that sort of thing, I do like it but... I find myself blinking while looking at it, as if my eyes are not focusing properly but, its the shadows that are not sharp. I appreciate how difficult that may have been, perhaps the auto focus was fooled by the mass white background. For me they needed to be sharp to get the full effect. Also the shadows seem a bit washed out, bluey grey rather than deep shadows. To me that harsh contrast would have worked better. Never the less a very good shot well done.

Just seems a bit on the flat side. I popped this into PaintShop Pro to see, and found some levels made a huge difference. The left side of the histogram and much of the right were quite flat and stretching the dynamic range really helped it.

I can only think this is goinskiing, it looks like that wonderful Utah powder. I think you may get dinged for including yourself in the image though.

Could have shown you're a skier in many other ways that I probably would have scored better. The shadow does nothing for me.

interesting idea. i think this might work better if the picture was turned in such a way that the skier was going across the picture.
