Hi Ulf

Superb panning to get good sharpness on the skier & motion blur on the snow. Well managed exposure with plenty of detail still visible in the highlights. Good sharpness, too. Tfs!

Vertigineous !
It's funny to see the speed on the landscape and not on the woman, as if she was on a treadmill, or suspended ! Except that it would have been easier to shot in this case ;)
I love it !

Hello Ulf,
A great sense of dynamism in this fine composition. The angle of view and the position of the skier in the frame are superb. Excellent exposure management with good natural tones. Fine clarity. All in all, a great action shot.

Hi Ulf,
You did a great job capturing the moving skier! I love the motion blur of the snowy background and the light is very enhancing too with great shadow effects on the snow and of the skier. Great composition too. Thanks a lot for sharing!

Hallo Ulf,
While spring is on his way you bring us a winter scene, how nice ;-)
The movement, perfect, but what's even more perfect is that angle. It looks very steep, i think you held your camera like this and the result is outstanding, i like it a lot, very good work.

Hallo,
sehr schönes Sportbild. Durch die längere Belichtungszeit ergibt dies einen guten Bewegungseffekt. Sieht ziemlich steil aus ...

Hallo Ulf,
sehr schön und scharf, für eine Aufnahme vom Lift. Und ein schönes Licht. Als Österreicher muss ich natürlich anmerken, dass der Schifahrer keine guten Haltungsnoten bekommt :)

Hi Ulf, lot of movement here, it is possible ti feel the cold of the snow while the skier is passing by. I like the wide opened space in front of the person, it's where he's going to be in a while.

Hallo Ulf,
wenn ich ihm sehe wird es mir schwindlig!-:)
eine schlichte Komposition aber so wirksam und so effektive.
Ich mag es sehr auch dass die Linien auf den Schnee sehr gut kommen.
Schoenen Abend.

Hi Ulf, Truly an amazing photo, the angle of the slope defies gravity, I suspect a little tilt, wonderful sharp capture of the skier & movement of the background displaying speed, I love the lone figure, great composition &, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Hello Ulf,
Your objective is reached, the photograph expresses a great dynamism. The composition is well made with this skier who occupies the side of the image. It is a very pleasant image.
Have a nice day

Hi Ulf,
Excellent pan shot. Motion blur gives good idea of speed. Light hits the slope on low angle showing very nice texture.

Hi Ulf,
Our latest images have much in common I see though mine is more relaxed than yours.A real sense of speed is felt here made especially so by the interesting angle from above that seems to have steepened the slope.I like how the skiers jacket matches the snow....good to see you.

Hi Ulf,

Excellent action picture. The is a great contrast in the picture by the static posture of the skier and the high speed that is suggested by the rest of the image.
Very intriguing!.

Hallo Ulf,
This is a great one... the impression of speed is perfectly conveyed here.... It even seems to have some panning with this kind of blurred background. the slope looks real steep too!

Hallo Ulf,
It's truly a great photo. You achieved putting into into a vertiginous sense of movement, by inclining the image so the slope looks almost vertical and the slight motion blur that isn't enough to steal the sharpness of the skier. Hats off to the light also!
Bravo!
Lieben Gruss, José.

Hallo Ulf,
verständlich, warum dieses Bild dein Favorit ist. Das Foto ist voll mit Bewegung, man spürt die Geschwindigkeit von der Textur des Schnees. Ich vermute, der Hang war nicht so steil, es ist aber die suveräne (und gute) Entscheidung des Fotografs. Scharfe Exposition mit 1/30 sec bei 91 mm Brennweite wäre schon alleine eine hervorragende Leistung, dazu noch vom bewegenden Sessellift ... Hut ab!
Viele Grüße
Laszlo
