Both great images. Boarder in the second really pops out against the background.

Which lens were you using for these?

thanks, I used the 70-200 f/4 for both.

you know that some of those are yours right? anyway.. most of us dont sit here and look at every post. Give it some time and be patient. The shots are good. I dont like the crops but that is just me.

Just sorta standard shots. Not going too big, the compositions not too interesting, the locations pretty average. They are pretty clean images don't get me wrong...just nothing stands out in them.

Like mentioned above, composition is a bit boring. I would suggest getting closer and lower to the subject, make the images look more dramatic.

Yes haha I would love to have been able to... But thefunds are still building for my wide angle... Hopefully soon though!!!

This is just me, but I would try to increase the clarity and contrast in "the sprays" of snow to help them pop out a little further.

In the second shot, it seems that the grab is not quite there, it's still a cool shot but if the grab is not fully extended, that's a deal breaker for me.

As mentioned before though, technically they are very good from a camera settings point of view. The background in #2 could do with being a stop or so brighter in my opinion but the flash exposure of the rider seems spot on.

I think you just got to keep doing what your doing, the shots are good.
