Above the clouds

Crystal clear day - and it was like that for the entire week!

She couldnt jump as high as me - but i didnt trust her with my camera so I have no proof!

She's 18, and only a slightly better skier than I.

This photo made photo of the week when I took it, on our largest snow sports website.

The other day, the same website named this photo 'classic shot of the year' and was sent out along with my name and blurb to 37,000 people!

you bragging about your skiing or your photo taking

Great shot Matt, love the blue sky, polarizer I presume, excellent composition, no wonder it took the honors! Very well done.

I love the shot... reminds me of Oregon where we had simular vistas as well - but I never shot it. Congrats on the image.

The only comment I would make is the reduced image is suffering from artifacts around the skier's upper body. You may want to treak your reduction process to minimize this as it distracts from your otherwise great image.
