tough one
I would have to go with "E" for the technical difficulty and great stop-action
they are all sweet
3 jibby pics and no cliff huckin? thats upsetting. I think i'd give it to B.
I voted B, G, A
b for sure
I went E, G, B.
B hands down
H, G, E. They should have put up much bigger scans, though. Pretty tough to judge them based on the web versions. You really have to look at the magazine versions. H is so unique I had to go for that one. B is getting lots of votes here, and it's a great shot, but there are so many shots like this out there I don't think it deserves photo of the year.
B, B, and B.
ok fine.. B, A, G
i'm goin' C on this one.
HAG
H for sure. It's the ultimate combo based on uniqueness, athlete performance, lighting and degree of difficulty (for athlete and photographer).
Is there a larger version of G to look at? Wow. I'm entranced.
You've got javascript errors in your buyer's guide Weav.
Yep, I'm gonna go out on a limb for C too.
B
Just because it makes my heart pound :tongue:
BDG to be precise. Why doesn't anyone like D; its a great mountain and a beatiful line. It makes me drool....
I would have gone with H, but the damn tree isn't straight and it's driving me nuts looking at it! Soooo, going with E cause I want to know exactly what the hell that photographer did on that one!.......and cause I have the exact same shot as shot C and it didn't run anywhere.....dammit!
BAD. \

C looks different , gets my vote!
B for Me.
Do you guys mean F and not E when you speak of techinical difficulty?
E is just a tip mounted camera - and a really sweet tele powder turn.
F is the cool photo trick. Since the stars are spinning, I'm assuming they opened the shutter for a while in the dark, and then hit the flash when the roof hucker was in mid-air.
For "powder" I would vote E B D.
For photo uniqueness, I say F and E.
B
hands down
despite midget's tweakness, I'm going with H, then D and going with F cause it's Brant - the dude's been through a shite ton of injuries and continues to surface on the pages of Powder.
B is so done. I'm sick of seeing that photo (no offense willy). II guess when it's in your backyard it loses its flavor.
B, D, and G are all mezmorizing, lots to look at, imagine
but H seems like the most technically demanding photograph....with the light on the tree being crisp while the background is cloudy, and daymn! that kid is up there!
I B-E-G to differ. That POV shot is cool, and the guy's still freeskiing, not jibbing. Are the jib shots neat? Sure, but c'mon folks, it's POWDER magazine, not Freeze.
Thing about B is that any pro photog can get that exact same shot almost any blue powder day. It's an easy hike in an obvious place in LCC. I've seen different versions of this exact shot in print already, although this probably the best version I've seen. Pics like C, E, and F are more unique....and H has great lighting.
I'll go with midgets version of C.
B because of the stoke factor
H because of the vibrant colors againt the foggy background
C because thats some artsy shit
E...
Sun, powder, shot from the tip of the ski = Great Shot. Just a bit more unique than the other shots.
B is going to win.
B, because it made me drool the most.
E.........
Question, tho' Just because a shot is not technically difficult, if it represents the sport for most of the readers, if it's the shot that reminds us most of our best days, and if it's pretty gorgeous to boot, doesn't that make it photo of the year?Quote:
