I find both photos to be too dark. Then again, shooting in Squamish in the summer is a dark affair!. The hotspot on the shoulder in #1 is distracting. Get rid of the guy chilling in #2 and I dig the symmetry of the parallel lines.

Jooky, limit your pics to one per post that way it's easier to get concentrated feedback on the shot...unless you are doing a comparison of some sort (i.e.- rotation, composition, BW vs. Colour, etc.)

Ok, sure. Hadn't thought about that.

#1, pretty good, I'm needing something...maybe its a bit too busy on the right, (good dof though) and I want to give the talent a bit more room on the left. Maybe the shot is a bitttt too tight on the talent? Not sure.
#2. Dig it except I say lose the spotter, or hanger on, or whoever he is. He's distracting and looks like he's posing for an Eddie Bauer catalogue.
These are cropped? How about posting the originals instead? We know what's best. Really.

Excellent! The highlight on his shoulder is more interesting at that distance. And I think it has a more dramatic sense of balance.

In reply to: In reply to: Excellent! The highlight on his shoulder is more interesting at that distance. Agreed. Since you are PSing, hit it a little with the dodge/burn tool (standard darkroom technique). Just enough to hake it down a notch in luminosity. Don't get rid of it altogether.
Problem is, it's pure white so there's nothing to burn.

yea you're right...i took it into the shop to paly around and it is pretty tough to get it to look like anything decent...unless...you drew some sweet colorfull tatoo on there lol
..but no i think that would draw more attention then it is worth...i think its an excellent shot though.

thats a nice edit alpine.... i prefer to leave some highlights though. I like the uncropped one a lot better because it has some space where the talent is heading. The very first one (cropped) feels too tight. the talent facing up (or sideways where we can read his face) would have been such a great photo.
for the second pic, it is a lot better without that slacker. I would like to have some action, action action there though, like reaching, flagging, anything... the talent feels like hanging there.... i love the upper part of the pic, moss and dirt look great with the highlights and chalk.... pads are a bit distracting though.
