I got this idea for the challenge as soon as I heard it was going to snow on Saturday! Hope it does well.
-converted from RAW
-converted to black/white-overlay of 82%
-slight dodging & burning

Wow! Thank you everyone for all your wonderful comments and votes! I really appreciate all the great feedback that I have been getting! This is the Best Day Ever and I'm so excited to have received my first ribbon on DPC! Thank you Jeremy for helping me out and dressing up in your suit and tie during the snowstorm! :-) :-)

its amazing how great minds think alike: i was gonna get my friend in a tux too, but with his surf board on the way to the beach.. nice shoot though. i like his smile
Sorry, I have nothing new to say...awesome shot, should have a board suppliers name and logo beside Jeremy, (who also adds a load of goodness)! The post processing is great. Keep it up and thanx for sharing such fantastic work. Are you tired of the kudos yet? :)
Congratulations on your first ribbon, Sarah! And a blue no less! Excellent capture, very clean and crisp-- even the snowfall fits in nicely. A well deserved win for you!
How cool is THAT! Yes. I'd buy that photo for my very cool ad :) Congratulations on a brilliant idea pulled off to perfection! Jeremy is a perfect model. He looks like Ben Affleck.
Keep coming up with photos like this, and you will have many ribbons follow :)
Wonderful photo. Congrats on the Blue. As far as this being stock photography for business, I'm not sure it would be used for much more than snowboarding. I actually think this photo is way too interesting to be considered 'stock'. I can see this someone becoming a motivational poster, or something of the like.
This is my only 10 in this challenge. I love the environment, the unusuality of the story you tell here. I love the way you desaturated colours, though, the smile and the business wear with the snowboard tell the story of a real colourful manager life! You did a great job! I would immediately apply for any job advertised with this photo! (10)
A pretty good take - I don't think it's exactly what they're looking for (like my entry is - NOT!) but I still think it will do very good. It's the best shoehorn, a 10 to me and I'm hoping will be in the top 3 photos.
Once I was able to see it for the advertising potential I really started to like the shot. I like how the bokeh of the trees becomes the art on the left side of the board. Might be a blackberry ad. Good Shot!
We have some great tonal qualities here. It's an effective image. It's suggestive, and technically sound. I could definitely see stock photo here. Love the high contrast, as well. Well executed! 9
