Well I like the subject but the overall scene was just a tad to dark I think. I was trying to get the snow right and adjusted the settings by +1 on the exposure. What else might have helped this photo??

Well its good that it is dark, otherwise the white parts would be super blown. Adjust your fill in raw, or adjust it in tonal curves or shadow/highlights. Can't do much before it looks obvious, but a tad bit may help this image. FWIW, considering the light - I think this was a good exposure.

It's really great that you underexposed this. It insured that you got a sharp action photo. to fix it, like Anbesol said, all you have to do is fill in your shadow using something like shadow/highlight in Photoshop. A value of 50% should do the trick.

As for the photo, really good composition, with the kid on the right and ample room for him to move in to on the left side of the frame. The look on his face is also great. lol.

Awesome timing! good composition, sharp, good exposure, and I love the expression

If you can try again, maybe at a different time of the day, I do not know if it would be possible to have the sun provide better illumination

Well amando_m if I remember correctly the time was around 3:30 in the afternoon, The sun was to our backs and dropping behind the mountains pretty fast. Most of the shots were either blown out of just to dark towards the end. I don't get to shoot snow much so I took the camera along to try my luck. I will PS like Anbesol, and Leels have suggested. :thumbsup: Thanks for all of the advice everyone it sure has helped in my photos.:thumbsup: I have also learned on here to prefocus for these types of shots, Getting as sharp of an image as I can before the subjet enters the viewfinder.

The mix of intense concentration and sheer terror in his face is...priceless
No qualms, I've had a very good laugh Thank you!
