...are the best.

I know, I know, The Hand!
I was gutted, this was my favourite shot timing and exposure wise and his hand covers his face.
I thought I'd upload anyway though, instead of something that has a lot more exposure etc wise wrong with it.

Comments appreciated, thanks!

Normally I'd not like a shot like this, but there's something with the harsh light that just really works well with this, and the big shadow really makes it.

Nice one!

;o)

Not sure if seeing the face is so important here, it's just a convention!

The skaters' chin denotes the force of concentration on completing the trick and there are so many other things that help complete the composition: Feet and shins at 90-degrees echo the buildings' lines, skateboard a reflection of the angle of the ramp, height and shadows adding power and impact to a fine action shot.

Phew! Nice.

owt bad.

Could do with seeing the face and whats going on in the botom left? If it's your wide angle jobbie, would of looked more even if it was in all corners but ya cudda cloned it out beyyy.

Shame you've been down to noise city again.
Please tell me that wasn't 100 iso.

Otherwise the timing and lighting is pretty spot on.

Have you ever seen this guys work, have a look, his skate photos are from a different planet.

They're good, very good!
Still prefer French Fred and Christoph Maderer though.

It was 100 but it was brightened a LOT as I wanted to make that shadow a lot more prominent, that's where the noise is coming from.

like the lighting, and angle is spot on. Timing would be best if you get the back foot catch, but i cant exactly say its a bad photo.

Great capture, the cold white balance really adds to the wintry feel. Take it easy
