Hard to decide whether to put this here or in sports/action. A photo from the ceremonial start in Anchorage this morning.

I cropped the picture, and did some basic contrast/levels correction.

What do you think?

The two lead dogs look very interested in the camera, I'd watch out.

You did a nice job exposing for the snow and shadows that you had to work with. It's too bad that it was so early in the morning, so all of the long shadows from the people on the right side of the photo put most of the sled in shadows.

Was there something more specific you were looking for critque on rather than what do you think?
Lighting perhaps or composition?
