I want to save this, but lift towers, and cables kill an otherwise perfect action shot

I guess I have to be a snowboarding enthusiast to get excited by this shot? Well...

defekto makes a good point.
It would have been an automatic delete with a sunset too. ;-)

I'm not a big fan of wierd crops...
maybe this one was made for Cinemascope.

And the bare hills and the building with the shiney roof
don't jibe with my pre-conceptions of a 'Snowboard Shot'.

But this shot is just too good
and I can't see how you could have cropped it signifigantly better.

Oh kiki, you wrote EXACTLY the same thing on mine, you were pasting your sig/border enemies! and I thought I was special...sniff. As for the photo, that white house and the cable lines are bothering me. In the full size they still bother me. But to be honest, I just love the rest too much to care.

just to keep things balanced, i'm going to be a dissenter...
while i think it's a pretty good snowboarding shot, i think the amount of stuff showing at the bottom ruins it. when i see a guy flying through the air like that, i want to think about him 'flying through the air' — not about how in another second he's going to be 'smacking down on that dirty-ass snow'. seeing the ground below him ruins what magic this might have had.

i like it a lot. i like the hints at context/contrast to the natural that the bits at the bottom give it. the color rocks.

the relationship of the foreground and background is really nice giving this a sense of depth. That gives it that drama, plus there's a bounty of snow in the front and it's rock in the back. Nice one!

When I was studying in the university there were some teachers that wanted to appear bad or “knowledgeable” due to their non-sense criticize. This is a nice photo! Delete it only because there is no signature is non-sense. Come on, this could be a side note instead of criteria of deletion.

@all Thanks for the comments - On the subject of the lines (ski lift) and building, I did attempt a crop with them removed, but it caused more problems than it solved - it lost depth and the composition lost balance.

@ Michale & Ken - you guys simultaneously posted... think it's saveme8 / deleteme6 now

@Kiki J - lol!

@Artur: I know what you mean. Badass professors with their knowlegable nonsense criticize really get my goat...

Teasing aside, some poster's comments are facetious, meaning they're meant to entertain. Lacking context, you might take them seriously, then everything goes crazy, and someone loses an eye.

there is a distracting white thing on the left side which kind of throws off the composition--why not ps it out?

@kiki, a "saveme" would be a good way to personalise, just a suggestion. This one's neck and neck at 8 all...

The action on this shot outweights some of the limitations on the crop, especially the snow flying and the rich tones of blue in the sky..

Guess I'll have to wait for an admin to tell me what the deal is with this. Definitely comes in at saveme10 on comments, but 9 on tags.

not seen this before so not sure what the deal is...

There were 10 saveme's before 10 deleteme's, someone obviously got mixed up. This should definately be saved.

I've spoken to Hourman and unless you tag your vote doesn't count. Simultaneous comments mean you have to make sure or your vote isn't included... oh well. I'll crop out the things that we don't like and repost I guess.
