Brian Buell...Man on a Ridge. Seems we ve seen this all before and the intent this time was actually to shoot from a bit higher-up and to incorporate the Henry Mountains in the immediate background. After a scrambling mission it was obvious that this was the only vantage point to shoot from unless the camera was placed on the same plane as the rider. NOT an option... so straight-into-the-sun it was... Brian packed out his run-in and i scrambled up a chute and onto the deck from where the shot was taken. I gave the 2min warning and with the sun parked right ON the horizon we had a single run to get it right. Another day at the office... Hanksville UT. sort of

 Andreu just always seems to get photographed really well, there's probably a dozen photos of him taken by various people that could have made the first round of POY

 the pic of andreu didnt get in because it was posted after the contest started, personally i think they should've waited till the beginning of 2012 to start the contest cuz then there would be more pics available just look at yesterdays pod as another great example

 I know and the POY was really POTLFM (Picture of the Last Few Months.) Hopefully, they'll improve this system for next year.

 This makes the POY competition look like a joke.

 Exactly. The photo of the "year" competition consisted mostly of pics of the last month and a half.

 You have a point. It's a shame the voting started when people were looking at PODs within the last two months. I'm sure there's SO many photos out there this year that could've made it if the voting was over a different time period.

 Its just the way POM is counted. It's done on views per month. Because of the POY contest obviously those photos got a lot more views than they otherwise would have. Keep calm the world isn't falling apart just yet.
