Personally I would crop them much much tighter. Otherwise they are nice photos with right timing. Here are few samples from our database

I shot some stuff at a ski resort a couple weeks ago and all were way too dark as I did not compensate enough for all the white! Cheers! Chris Most everything was shot manual. It was a balance between the sun on the snow and the shadows, I found a setting that wasn't too far either way, and PP'd the rest. Usually for snow you are looking at over exposing between 1-2 stops to get the whites primoz wrote in post #4970118 Personally I would crop them much much tighter.

With my sports work, I keep trying to get my self to crop as tight as I can, but for some reason I always fall short, it is like I am afraid or something.

Don't be scared to crop of poles, or part of gates. Head/helmet, skis, body and hands are nice to have, but poles or gates, and whole bunch of snow around really doesn't matter. PhotoSI
