I dont like how this is not really about the skill as a photographer anymore, but much more the skill that they have at editing a photo!!! Most of these photos probably look completely different from the original raw image strait of the camera!!!

Amazing shots. Best of luck to the Photographers in the running. Thanks for sharing your work.
Aggghhh!!! I hate when you preview the photos on this page and pick out a few of your top picks and then move to the voting page only to find out that all of your favorites are matched up together. This is the equivelant of picking baby names with your wife - Impossible. Every single picture made me kringe when I looked outside at the foot and a half of snow blanketing everything and the realization that it will be at least 6 months before the snow is off the trails here. Amazing photos, all of them.
The most beautiful ones with the most impact are the mountain range photos (Rikard Lindby,Rob Trnka,etc..)But!The bikers occupy only a tiny portion of these photos,they are so far away and small,that these photos hardly represent any action,which is why i think i have to go with Toby Cowley's shot (5th from top)...i think!Still thinking...LOL
If I were to choose the more impressive feat it would be Bryce Piwek (2nd photo) - that's just crazy! Since it's more about the photography then they're all winners. Being who I am I'll wind up picking a nighttime shot or one with a panoramic view of the mountain ranges. How to choose though?!
When you are not sure go on instant instinct, does it make you feel better today? Does it make you want to ride? It should stir positive emotions instantly maybe remind you of a place you ride/have been. It is a photography competition yeah but photos are made to relate too and to share time/experiences with so that is how I picked them. The last two are both excellent though so choosing between them was still difficult.
How is no one raving about Steve Lloyd's shot? It is In my opinion one of the most interesting riding shots I've seen. definitely the clear winner I think.
Had the same problem with match-up 16. Had to go to the descriptions to help me decide.
Don't know how I missed the picture of Gwin before. Unreal! Can't remember ever seeing a photo that made my palms sweat.
