Photo Critiques Welcome!

Absolutely love the muted tones. As mention in the best photo thread, rule of thirds is a good rule of thumb until you really get a feel for composition. Same goes for context, it's important until you really get a feel for action photography. I still rely on both of those rules a lot of the time unless there is something specific I'm going for. You did do a really good job of trying to get the althletes on a blank background (sky, snow), helps distinguish what the skier is doing.

Thanks for the input!
I have never really thought of the rule of thirds before ill keep it in mind next time I shoot!

Smaller less noticeable logo or no logo at all.

Also: rule of thirds.

Yea alot of people tell me not to watermark my photos which I completely understand , it's just reference I like it for some reason , would smaller with a lower opacity be better?

Drop the opacity way down.

A logo shouldn't distract, and now it does.

Make two versions: one black and one white and when applying them use the opposite colour of the background so even when opacity is at 12% or lower it's still readable but doesn't jump in your face,

I wouldn't call myself the greatest example but in this pic the logo I use for my photos on my Tumblr:

I had trouble making a white version of it for some reason in illustrator. But I used it at 50%, ill drop it alot lower next time I take some and post them here for you to see.

Dope Pictures, keep it up!

straight crit, not sugar coated, take it for what it is

1. dece angle, not peak action, may have been better from the other side to get his front side in, good clean bg
2. snapshot, cut his hand off, cool for fb maybe, as a photo meh
3. straighten it and crop it
4. need more context, knuckle would help do that, rider is ue
5. butt shot, i'd like to see front/face
6. maybe a little too tight
7. Probably the best compositionally, i'd like to see face though, maybe a bit tighter, people on the knuckle are distracting
8. need context, face
9. dece comp, would like face, and the rider to not be dead center
10. see #2
11. tough light, it's hard to tell the jump from the slope and the rider is a bit dark

a lot of dead center compositions, too, work on that, "rule" of thirds


check out the photo cult, too, it's a good place to post photos for crit
