Judges' comments:
Good stop action with snow behind ski; would be nice to see more room above helmet
Maker's notes:

This image was shot at night on a not so well lighted ski jump hill. I had to push the ISO to ISO 6400 in order to get enough shutter speed to stop the action. Aperature was f/5.6 to get a short depth of field. It also allowed an exposure time of 1/250 sec.
