Photo critique Here is where you can display your images and seek the comment, advice and, maybe, constructive critique of your work. Only post your images here if you are happy for frank feedback. If in doubt, use the beginners board instead. Only post your comments here if you feel you can make a constructive and polite contribution in response to what is, for some, a leap of faith in exposing their work to your critical comment.

Re: Epic Air

Yay - great shot - very well timed!

Spot on timing with him and the skateboard in the air! That's not easy to achieve so well done you!

Re: Epic Air

Great action shot.
The background and the homemade ramp indicates that these guys have to practice wherever they can find the space.

Re: Epic Air

You got the technical right - a fast shutter speed to grab the action and focus looks spot on. I wonder if cropping out the left third of the frame would work better? The stuff in the background is a bit distracting but the shadow would be lost. This shot would be great for a caprtion contest

PS Please see my comments on how to post images inline rather than as attachments on your guitar shot thread.

Re: Epic Air

Thanks to everyone for your very kind feedback. Yeah, these guys have to get really creative to find places to skate. The town we live in has a population of approx. 2000 on a good day. The building in the background is the backside of an old "Fords Ice Cream" plant. Thanks again to everyone.

Re: Epic Air

I really like this. Skating is hard to photograph and its crystal clear
