Great capture. You shot with 1ev overexposed? Is that what allowed you to get all those great details in the snow? Well done.

Excellent capture here Dave... are you VERY sure that is not a black cardboard cutout of a person?? :)
Amazing that the lad landed on his feet - well done to the both of you.
Thank you for comments on my pics.
Have a good one

Oh my godness. Hard to believe he made it all the way around without breaking his neck. I was relieved to read that he made it though. A great action shot Dave. Talk about snapping that photo at the right second. Great work.

Cheers - Ann :)

Great action series, Dave! I know it is hard to anticipate the moment because of shutter lag - you did a great job.

Ok Dave, First some anatomy lessons. Ones feet do not connect to the neck or shoulder region.That in mind I think you did another great shot with the snow boarder. Timming I'm sure is the real key. Nice detail in the snow. I'm sure I would have blown it out..

Del Metheny   {K:25617} 1/10/2006
It is hard to believe he completed that summersault safely. He looks barely off the snow. It is very difficult to get adequate exposure of a dark object when you have snow. This came out well. Del.

Oh to be young again. It hurts just to look at what might come of this. Don't look like he could ever get on over and land on his feet. Thanks for sharing. Don.

Hi, i looked around in youre portfolio and you have some really really nice winterlandscapes. And i also really like 'downtown'.

As for this picture, nice job that the snow isn't overexposed! I like the scene, looks pretty painfull, and becose i can 'feel' the picture you have done a great job. People looking at it are getting involved with it. Excellent, you really shot it at the best time. Congratulations.

Cheers, Lex.

You must be about to go to bed Dave. It is 5.40am Tuesday here and I have been working through the night at my job. A quiet moment or three so I am putting a few comments out.

This is another great action shot and quite incredible that he landed safely on his feet from this position. You have again caught some great details in the snow itself. Well done my friend..Best wishes to you, 'see' you soon...Ray
