I don't know what it would have looked like, but I would think that seeing under the pipe would have added to the pictures, or for all I know it could have just distracted too. Without seeing it I don't really know. Nice picture though.
so close, this is a shot I wish I could have taken if I was back in Colorado. This particular picture needs more rail action, but beside that great clairy of subject.
Great stop action shot with good use of depth of field. I find myself wishing for more of the rail to be showing - it took me extra time to figure out what was happening and I needed the title for explanation. Overall, just fantastic.
AMAZING photo! Your background really makes the snowboarder pop out! The composition and focus are perfect! I'm sure you will get many, so here is another 10 for you!! GOOD LUCK!!!
